On debian, the sources are in a separate package called emacs.el. Try to locate files ending with .el or .el.gz. on your system. (e.g. by typing M-x locate misc.el in emacs) If you only find files ending with .elc (sources are compiled), that explains why you can't access them through the *help* buffer.
