Nope. This is old information.
Debian has a package with the appropriate headers. It should match the
running kernel, this assumes you are running a Debian kernel. The
package name varies with architecture; mine is linux-headers-2.6-amd64.
The actual source, Debian or not, can go nearly anywhere. What is
needed is for a kernel module compile to be able to find the *dev*
headers.
Generically, you need a link in the lib/modules hierarchy to point to
the dev headers.
You can put the source in /usr/linux if you are careful, but *DO NOT*
make that link of which you speak. The linux link, if there, should be
left alone. If not there, don't add it.
Read the *current* kernel docs.
