If I understand the various posts in the FreeCAD forums correct,
they seem to go for PySide2. It would be very helpful, if the
Debian Qt maintainers could package PySide2! Maybe before Qt4 is
removed, because otherwise some packages have to be removed just
to introduce them again. I don't think that packaging PySide2
outside of the Qt team makes sense, because PySide2 will be the
"official" Python API of Qt, if I'm not mistaken.
