I cannot answer your question, but I just want to thank you for looking at
the SIP v5 port of Calibre. It is currently the largest (and most popular)
package in Debian that is still using SIP v4.

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/commit/a4df5cc67ba6ee82 makes things
a bit better, I have notified our maintainer about that commit. Of course,
using the new build system (with pyproject.toml, etc.) would be even better.
