Hello! First of all sorry for the late review, but the currently ongoing 
transition is not helping.

You might want to consider suscribing to pkg-kde-talk at a-l.d.n (CCed), it's a 
*very low* traffic mailing list in which we coordinate some stuff.

OK, looking at the package:

- I know I'm late, but python-pyside2 and python3-pyside3 are definitely not a 
good idea. Any packager could just use them as a build dependency and install 
*tons* of useless MB of packages to build a package that just needs qtbase. It 
would not surprise me if it's final installed size would exceed 1GB, without 
considering dependencies. We do not have a qt5-dev package for exactly this 
reason and time proved us to be right as many came in asking for it. Please 
consider removing this meta packages in your next upload.

- Looking at https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pyside2 you might 
want to limit the qtwebengine5-dev to the archs in which it builts. If pyside2 
build system works like pyqt then the related packages will not get built on 
those archs. Yes, this needs an arch list in the related binary packages too.

- Looking at debian/control pyside2-tools seems to ship pyside2-uic, but 
python[3]-pyside2uic too. This is confusing :-/

I think that's all, thanks for it!

are detailed enough to actually be coded.
