mitya57 and I have been working on getting pyqt5 build ready. At the
moment, mitya is slightly ahead at packaging pyqt5 for ubuntu/debian.

If you browse the archives, you will notice that initial release of
PyQt5 does not contain new modules, e.g. QtQuick.

All of us are watching this space closely to potentially evaluate
Ubuntu Touch components with PyQt5 =)))
