Qmake does indeed support out of source builds (and for a long time -
you can find questions about it on the forums from 2010). You can check
a possible implementation of debhelper support for it in MR 125.

this is my first contact with qmake either, and the KDE/Qt
maintainers are happy it’s used less and less as well…

Sorry,

Interesting.  I am not sure out of source builds have ever been
supported by qmake (at least not correctly at any rate).  If you know
how to do it, then I am happy to look at fixing it.

Package: libdebhelper-perl
Version: 13.1
Severity: normal

Apparently, dh7 fails to tell qmake the location of the source directory
when attempting an out-of-tree build:

The qmake invocation syntax error message is somewhat misleading,
but looking at the invocation command line it becomes somewhat clearer.
