[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1060741: ball: Please port from sip4 to sip6

[Dmitry Shachnev]

Package: ball
Version: 1.5.0+git20180813.37fc53c-11
Severity: important
Usertags: sip6

Dear Maintainer,

Your package currently builds with sip4, which is a deprecated version of SIP.
The modern version of SIP is packaged as sip6.

The documentation on how to use modern SIP is available in sip6-doc package,
or on the SIP website [1]. The recommended approach is using SIP's own
PEP 517-compliant build system (i.e. pyproject.toml and project.py files),
however some projects (e.g. krita upstream) have successfully integrated SIP 6
into their CMake-based build systems.

SIP 4 has an RC bug related to Python 3.12 [2] and it's unlikely to be fixed.

Please port this package to SIP 6, and after that is done, remove the build-
dependency on python3-sip-dev.
