Package: apt-src
Version: 0.25.1
Severity: normal

I have apt-src configured to install source in /usr/src/debian by
setting the APT::Src::Location configuration parameter in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.

After unpacking the source, apt-src errors out with this error:
E: Did not unpack to $PWD/udev-0.050
where $PWD is your current directory. The error message is technically
correct because the source was not unpacked there, but it was not meant
to.

This results in no entry being written to $HOME/.apt-src/status, so
further apt-src commands report the source package is not installed.

I must ensure my current directory is /usr/src/debian when I install a
source package to be able to build it - defeating the purpose of
APT::Src::Location.
