Please read the ln man page.

If /lib/modules exists and is a directory (which is the case here),
then ln will create a symlink /lib/modules/modprobe.conf pointing to
/etc/modprobe.conf. Exactly, as your parent poster mentioned -- try it
out yourself.

That said, I don't know Debian, so I can't comment if the location is
/lib/modules/ or /etc/. It's /etc/ in all distributions that I've ever
used.
