The source profile provides a white point and default source gamut, while
the (optional) argument to -G provides a specific sub-gamut within that source 
space.
I'm not sure what it means to mix a gamut taken from the image in one
color space with a different source colorspace.

If you have an image in colorspace X, where X is very wide gamut,
the the typical workflow is to create an image gamut from the image,
and then create a device link from X to the destination colorspace
with the image gamut as the -G argument. The device link created
then converts from colorspace X to the destination colorspace,
and attempts to compress in a perceptual manner colors within the image
gamut, and clip colors outside that.
