I don't know why. but the kernel package readme
(/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) also suggests not to build
the kernel there. Also the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) says
that source code may be placed under /usr/src "only for reference
purposes" and "should not be build within". Again I don't understand
why exactly.
If you can use make-kpkg, I think following the instruction detailed
in the kernel-package readme is an easy path.
I never used that symlink (what is that?).

I use /usr/local/src/kernel.
