1. To find where a package was installed, right-click on the package in 
Synaptic and look at the package properties -> installed files.

2. Are you sure you installed the source code of Qgis via Synaptic? Does any 
qgis source package exist at all? What you've installed is probably just a 
binary package with compiled code only. The source code you can download from 
here: http://www.qgis.org/en/download/sources.html 

3. You mean C++ plugins or Python ones? C++ plugins are installed in 
/usr/lib/qgis/ while for Python plugins you don't need to install them 
manually. Just use qgis menu Plugins-> Fetch Python plugins. If you're sure 
you want to install a plugin manually, put it (unzipped) in 
~/.qgis/python/plugins/
