No sure how feasible that is, QGIS upstream also supports older
Debian/Ubuntu releases which may not support the SIP5/6 buildsystem.

The changes to the upstream parts just added support for SIP5, the
packaging was updated to use those packages from experimental.

We can merge the upstream bits to have the support for the sip5
buildsystem, and can keep the packaging to use sip4 (i.e. don't update
(build) dependencies).

Kind Regards,
