So, you could download the source code

    $ mkdir -p /home/drain/some/good/place
    $ cd /home/drain/some/good/place
    $ apt-get source emacs23

and add a line like this to your Emacs init file:

    (setq find-function-C-source-directory
          "/home/drain/some/good/place/emacs23-23.2+1/src")

Done.
