The elisp source files are in the emacs-el package.

This is a common source of confusion.  The short answer is that you 
should ignore the final '.1'.  For a longer answer, see

There's been a lot of discussion about this lately on the emacs-devel

expect a lot of improvement in gnutls integration in emacs-24, but 
probably not before that.
