My qbs-built packages in debian have stopped building in debian unstable. The build-foo has not changed in several years so something on the qbs side has presuambly changed. Can anyone point me to what might be going on?
Bugs here:

Full build-logs here:

The failing error is:
Value '' of property 'cpp.debugInformation' has incompatible type.
But as you can see from the log that property is set to 'true' in the profile 'deb'
qbs config --settings-dir debian profiles.deb.cpp.debugInformation true
and then the profile 'deb' is used for the build:
qbs build --settings-dir debian --log-level info --command-echo-mode command-line --no-install \
profile:deb \
modules.qbs.installRoot:/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/tmp \
project.libDir:lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
config:qbs-build
This setup has been working for a very long time (since 2019) so I'm not sure why it's stopped working. Why might cpp.debugInformation become unset? Perhaps the profile is not actually being used? Clues for where to look are very welcome.
The version of qbs in debian unstable (used for these builds) is 3.3.0
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qbs
I don't know how long ago this broke (qmath3d was last uploaded (and therefore built OK) in Feb 2023, but there may have been more QA builds since then).
I can't test right now as I'm on hols and data-constrained. If anyone has any ideas, I can follow-up when I get back to real internet.
Cheers
Wookey
