So it looks like with sip 5, PyQt5-sip is now published separately ..
with sip 4, PyQt5-sip has a matching version number, but the package
provides an API that is version 12.7. Confusing!

Upstream clarified and it turns out they don't actually depend on sip.
And they don't need to depend directly on PyQt5-sip either, PyQt5
automatically pulls it in.

We do need a strategy for how to eventually switch to the standalone
PyQt5-sip, but that can wait for when we rebase PyQt5 and KDE to it I
guess.
