A while ago the debian people decided that the emacs manual does not
meet their idea of free software and they put it in the non-free
section.
$ aptitude show emacs23-common-non-dfsg
Package: emacs23-common-non-dfsg
State: installed
Description: GNU Emacs shared, architecture independent, non-DFSG items
GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor. This package
contains the architecture independent infrastructure that is not
compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. In particular,
this includes some of the GNU Emacs info pages, as they are covered
under the GFDL, and they specify invariant sections. See
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 for more information.
Check if that package is installed on your system.
