You're mixing two things here.

The first name is the Qt Creator target dir. It's something you can choose and 
edit by yourself in the interface.

The second (the "debug" and "release" subdirectories) come from qmake. You can 
turn that off too by setting a variable in your .pro file. I don't remember 
which.
