I don't know the reason for this behavior, but it is not limited to KDevelop.
Most packages I have download have a subdirectory with the source code, with
the main directory containing the Makefiles, etc.

"Makefile" is the standard name for makefiles. Decades of tradition will defend
that name. Sorry, but I'm afraid you're going to be out of luck for that one.
