No, you do not want to DNAT to SOURCE-IP.  You want to do something like 
the following:

On DEBIAN, you would want to do something like the following:

# Redirect traffic originally to DEBIAN to be to DESTINATION
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d DEBIAN-IP -j DNAT --to-destination 
DESTINATION-IP
# SNAT DNATed traffic from DEBIAN to DESTINATION to be from DEBIAN
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d DESTINATION-IP -j SNAT --to-source 
DEBIAN-IP

SOURCE ---> DEBIAN ---> DESTINATION ---> DEBIAN ---> SOURCE
