I would imagine it's in /usr/lib/libstdc++_debug/libstdc++3.so.3. That's what "debug information" consists of, after all: paths to the source directories, file names, and line numbers. Stepping through is possible, but to actually see the source, you must have the source avilable, and gdb needs to know where it is. If it's not in "/home/doko/packages/..." then you can set a variable inside gdb to tell it where to look.
