It's not suprising that you get confused if you're comparing with the
IMHO very confusing ln(1) page. Especially since dh_link doesn't operate
very much like ln at all.
The second paragraph of dh_link(1) clarifies exactly what source and
destination mean:
The source files are the already existing files that will be symlinked
from. The destination files are the symlinks that will be created.

At the expense of the absurd:
The destination files are the already existing files that will be
symlinked from. The source files are the symlinks that will be created.
How many compilers do you know of that create source files from destination
files?
