Just FYI, it would greatly surprise me if you actually needed root
privileges for aptitude's "show" command. I wager you could get the

dummy@dummy:~$ aptitude show emacs
and save yourself a password entry.
(I am wagering, not promising, because I use apt-get exclusively,
*apt-get and apt-cache
never aptitude.)

Then, in emacs, do
M-x info
This brings up a menu of info documentation properly installed on your
system. You'll want to traverse "Emacs" > "Abbrevs".
