Comment # 3 on bug 1044910 from Benjamin Greiner

Is this still an issue?

I am in the process of migrating all the PyQt5 packages to SIP5

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bnavigator:sip5

@Fabian, I am confused by your statement. If the SIP files are really only
needed by the lib itself, then why would there be a need to package them at
all?

As far as I can tell, qgis depends on the sip files provided by qscintilla.
