The rules are:
default - > build in the source directory (object and source files are together)
debug -> build with compiler debug options in the debug/ subdirectory (object files goto debug/)
optimized -> build with compiler optimizations in the optimized/ subdirectory (object files goto optimized/)

default -> Is used if you want and need a sloppy way of storing your files, or if you need to translate you program (this is a bug in XGETTEXT/KDE)
debug -> Is used if you like a clean separation of your object files (good project organization) and you want to debug your program.
optimized -> Is used if you like a clean separation of your object files (good project organization) and you do not want to debug your program but want it to run very fast.

The default can not be mixed with the other two and vice versa because of a bug in GNU Autotools.
