I think pretty much no binary package distribution is going to include
C sources of Emacs in the main package. From the maintainer’s point of
view, they are unnecessary for the majority of the users. For that
matter, even Elisp sources are distributed in an optional emacs-el
package by Debian and Ubuntu.
And if you ‘apt-get source emacs’ into a directory of your choice, you
can point Emacs at this directory and it will do the right thing.
