Debian "prefers" more or less standard build systems to arcane handwritten
ones, but OTOH replacing the build system of a package is actually done only
in rare cases.
That said, I guess qmake can be considered standard for Qt applications.

That probably comes down to personal preference. Personally, I never could
wrap my head around cdbs and found debhelper more obvious because there's
less behind the scenes magic going on. OTOH I never really *tried* to
understand cdbs so I can't really compare the two systems.
