Hi,
yes, the sip/python-qt* situation (including the qwt packages) is being
dealt with. Basically, the experimental upload was to get sip 4.10
through NEW, which has already happened. Now, all other build
dependencies need to be adapted (or added to Breaks: in python-sip4),
since sip 4.10 introduces a new ABI, again. However, dependencies of
sip-based packages are now on the virtual sip-abi-x.y (currently, 7.0)
packages, which is provided by python-sip and can be added to a
package's dependencies via ${sip:Depends} and dh_sip. python-qt{3,4} and
qscintilla2 in experimental already use this.
best,
Torsten
