Hm, I don't find any scopes "debug", "Debug", "release" or "Release"  
in qmake's documentation.
The documentation talks about CONFIG+=release (and CONFIG+=debug), but  
that does *not* define a scope that could be used like  
"release:TARGET=something" (neither lowercase nor uppercase).

Yes,

CONFIG(debug, debug|release) {
TARGET = something_debug
} else {
TARGET = something_release
}

is what you're supposed to do, as far as I see from qmake's  
documentation
