Not quite as simple. PyQt-qscintilla is built as part of PyQt -- it's
not a separate package. I *could* provide PyQt-qscintilla in extras,
leaving PyQt in core, but that would require:
1. fully mirroring the SRPM with the one from Core, just to add the
qscintilla bits
2. constantly coordinating with the PyQt in Core to make sure we don't diverge

That's really not efficient. It'd be far more so to have both PyQt and
Qscintilla (parts of the same project, really) in the same repository.
