[Python-modules-team] Bug#708988: python-sip not providing virtual package sip-api

[Fernandez-Alcon, Jose]

Package: python-sip
Version: 4.14.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I did the last dist-upgrade python-sip was upgraded to 4.14.6-1 and
python-qscintilla2 was removed.
python-qscintilla2 was removed, because it depends on the sip-api-8.1 virtual
package, which was provided by python-sip until version 4.13.3-2.

Reverting the package to version 4.13.3-2 provided the virtual package.

For instance, tortoisehg can not be installed because it depends on python-
qscintilla2 which depends on sip-api.

Please, let me know if I can be of any help :-)

Many thanks!

Jose
