Normally it works this way on Debian:
/usr/src will have a lot of subdirectories, but the one you want is
/usr/src/linux. You make that a symlink to the directory that contains
the linux kernel source you want. But if I'm not mistaken, you have to
unpack the source first, which creates the exact directory you want.
Debian is a little weird about this. They have a whole other module
directory somewhere else that duplicates what's in the kernel source
directory (once you build the kernel). And then there's another
directory that duplicates the header files elsewhere. Maybe they all do
that; I dunno.

P.S. Use the 2.6 kernels; they're faster, among other things.
