Also, it might work to post this same question to an ubuntu list asking for 
what to install to get the source.

In case you didn't get the gist of the previous replies, there are two kinds of 
source: elisp and c.  With a nice full install (like my Mac has), I can do C-h 
<function> to get the built in help.  And then I'll have a link at the top that 
will take me to the source no matter whether it is in lisp or C.  Very very 
nice to have.

Good luck.
