that statement is quite honestly pure ka-ka.

In debian/rules on or about listing line 144 "you" (whoever you
is) ./config.status which happens to contain whatever was passed to
configure.

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -gt 0 ]; then

fi

at listing line 27 we find:

ibase_architectures := i386 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 knetbsd-i386
netbsd-i386 amd64 sparc powerpc
#ibase_architectures := none
ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),$(findstring $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),
$(ibase_architectures)))
	extra_configure_opts += -plugin-sql-ibase
else
	extra_configure_opts += -no-sql-ibase
endif


so we know that regular if statements work in this rules file.

This means that at any point _after_ line 221:
override_dh_auto_install:
ifeq ("-qt-sql-sqlite", $(findstring  "-qt-sql-sqlite", $(LDFLAGS)))
  rm debian/libqt4-sql-sqlite.install
fi

perhaps you just want to echo an empty file instead of the one liner
that is there.  I don't code script often so syntax could be off a bit,
but, there are only a handful of config qualifiers which convert a
plugin to a static object and there is no reason the debian rules file
cannot automagically fix that since it defines the config.
