Yes, you get the Elisp source from the repos as
an ordinary package, namely emacs-el (as you
say).
For the whole source, including the C, you add
(if it isn't there already) a "deb-src" line to
/etc/apt/sources.list , e.g.
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
and then do
$ apt-get source emacs24

I have to include the version, so the
command-line argument corresponds to
a non-metapackge name, otherwise I get
something else.
If you do use an Emacs version from the repos,
and not bleeding-edge from Git, I think it
makes sense to get the source from the repos as
well, and point the variable there. Perhaps it
won't matter much in the average case, but it
makes more sense.
