Hello,
Sorry for the delay. I tried below change in kernel.spec and now with this patch, the build and source symlinks are moved into kernel-devel package.
This was been tested for Fedora 21 kernel-3.19.7-200 Source RPM : kernel-3.19.7-200.fc21.src.rpm
I request kernel package maintainers to please have look into it.

Thanks Deepu & others. I think the dangling symlink problem is now in the right place & will
probably
get some attention by at least being brought up & thought about. I'm sure the Kernel people will deal with it when they can & they will
be moved
to the -devel package appropriately.
I think there'll only be more progress on the issue if someone proposes a packaging guideline draft along the lines of what Dominik proposed earlier in the thread. -- packaging mailing list packaging@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
