Inherited properties are not inherited as readonly. There is nothing
stopping a child/called project from changing the value of an inherited
property. If you want to test you can use a <ifnot propertyexists="debug">
... </ifnot> to check for the properties existence before setting it. See
this thread for more background.

Note: inheritall=true is the default.
Hope that helps,
