Dear Yann,

We also try hard to push patches upstream so that we do not have to

Debian did a pretty similar fix like mine 1 year ago: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=%231023913 . Freebsd 
uses pyqt5 with sip6 
https://gitlab.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-ports/-/commit/08cac15470d53f0475de0de67a94c7e2cd7e021e 
. I will do one attempt to update to their versions 5.15.10 with 6.7.12 
from SIP6.

Best,

Ralf
