Package: src:backintime
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

PyQt4 is planned for removal for the Buster release cycle [1]. It would
be wise to consider switching the backend of backintime from PyQt4 to
PyQt5 whenever possible.

It might not be possible for the 1.1.x series, but it will definitely be
possible in 1.2.x according to the README in the master branch [2].

Best regards,
Ghis
