Probably.  It means that the sources are unpacked into the /usr/src
dir.  If your package dir is called foo, it will be unpacked to
/usr/src/foo.  If you packed the archive so that it has it's own
usr/src path, it would be unpacked into /usr/src/usr/src/foo.

But you're right.  I had to read the sentence twice, too :-)
