debian/rules has:

qbs-setup-toolchains --settings-dir /tmp --detect

This reads files from well known locations inside /tmp. A malicious user
could place settings files containing a compiler of her choice and thus
take control of the build process elevating privileges to the build
user.

I think the intention is to ignore the build users settings. A better
solution for that problem would be creating an empty directory below the
debian directory.
