A hand-crafted qbs.conf sounds like overkill. Why can't you just run
something like

    qbs setup-android --ndk-dir ${ANDROID_HOME}/ndk-bundle --sdk-dir
${ANDROID_HOME} --qt-dir ${QT_INSTALL_DIR} qbs_autotests-android-qt

    qbs config defaultProfile qbs_autotests-android-qt

in the Dockerfile? You need to install all the Android stuff and Qt anyway,
so you must have that information already.
