Which Help features are those? The files that Help uses are already installed into the etc or lisp subdirectories of /usr/share/emacs/27.0.50 (or whatever). I looked through the Emacs source code, and the only use of source-directory that seemed relevant was find-function-C-source-directory; is that what you were referring to? If so, the problem can be addressed by installing the C sources into /usr/share/emacs/27.0.50/src/*.[chm], which is something we should be doing anyway since the build directory might be missing or (worse) wrong when someone wants to look at the sources of the installed Emacs. In the old days installing the C sources might have been thought too heavyweight but those days are long gone.
