I think I can prepare a package based on the Debian calibre 5.2.0 version in sid/testing, that reverts the Sip5 changes. I will install a focal vm and see if building works out of the box. If that is done, I will contact you again for further steps. Is this ok a plan for you or do you want/need anything else in this area right now?
