[Python-modules-team] Bug#822827: python3-pyqt5: qt5-5-1 abi dependencies makes install impossible against Qt5.6

[Marc J. Driftmeyer]

Package: python3-pyqt5
Version: 5.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

>From the release notes:

PyQt v5.6 has been released. The highlights of the release are support for Qt v5.6.0 and the provision of wheels for Python v3.5 for Linux, OS X and Windows.

    Added full support for Qt v5.6.0.
    Python v3.5 wheels are available for 64-bit Linux, 64-bit OS X and 32 and 64-bit Windows. (After this release Windows .exe installers will no longer be produced.)
    Added the QtWebEngineCore module.
    Added the missing qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic() to QtGui.
    Added the missing MouseLock to QWebEnginePage.Feature.
    Added the missing WA_DontShowOnScreen.
    PEP 484 stub files are installed by default.
    Added the --import-from command line argument to pyuic5.
    Added the --no-stubs and --stubsdir options to configure.py.
    Added the --qtconf-prefix option to configure.py.


Yet, in Debian we get this:

python3-pyqt5 depends on qtbase-abi-5-5-1
qtbase-abi-5-5-1 does not appear to be available
python3-pyqt5 suggests python3-pyqt5-dbg

I hope this is an oversight. As of now its useless against Qt 5.6.0 which being in Sid.

- Marc
