I will manage, but the integration of documentation with the program
seems to me an intrinsic feature of Emacs. Remember this is The
Extensible, Customizable, *Self-Documenting* Display Editor.

Sven Joachim pointed only some of the problems:

There is also C-h C-f

C-f Info-goto-emacs-command-node.  Type a function name;
        it takes you to the Info node for that command.

and C-h C-k

C-k Info-goto-emacs-key-command-node.  Type a command key sequence;
        it takes you to the Info node for the command bound to that key.


How they should behave on a pure DFSG system? Do you want to waste
your time for writing and maintaining some patches?

It seems better and definitely simple to have the whole Emacs as
non-free.

No only you will have less work, but it would also better reflect
Debian project policy.

Best regards
