Hi,

Firstly Cross posting to factory as there is a chance not everyone who
needs to read this is on packaging@ (more for packaging help and support)

Its worth noting that currently python-qt etc is staged and bought up
with each Qt version
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/KDE:Qt:5.15/python-qt5 for
example so how well this change will work with the existing Qt setup I
guess we will have to wait for the KDE/Qt people to answer.
