As per a post earlier in this thread, Debian currently does not package
PyQt5 for python 2 at all. Arch places the SIP files in different
directories (Py2-PyQt5 and PyQt5)

Certainly, I think having a separate package for the SIP files makes
sense, since they are (at least currently) python version independent.

I any case, my original point was simply that writing this information
into PYQT_CONFIGURATION at install time makes it robust for all PyQt
extension writers, regardless of what any individual linux distribution
might choose to do.

Kovid.
