I guess what goes wrong is that it doesn't read DESTDIR if it's inside 
of the condition. If you remove the condition (you get the same DESTDIR 
for both debug and release mode) QtCreator finds the executable. It also 
works if you set a DESTDIR variable before the condition. It is 
overridden at the qmake level but QtCreator uses it.

Also does any of you knows if there is a variable that contains either 
"release" or "debug" that we could use to set the DESTDIR path, that may 
be a neat workaround. But of course, QtCreator would have to understand 
that as well :/
