And I have an open bugzilla to validate (and likely fix)
kernel-dev/kernel-devsrc
against out of tree module builds, ensure that they can both the be
installed
on the target at the same time, and also so document how they map to the
packaging breakdown of kernel source in other distros.

Strangely, I was just hacking on that yesterday while working with Saul on
udev
problems.

So for the short term, leaving everything as-is makes the most sense to me.
