The actual library is: libsip.so.6.0.0 (Taken directly from the upstream compile). By now, it's installed at /usr/lib. When 2.* were not GPL compatible, I only packaged sip/libsip for Python 1.5. Now we have multiple version of Python, and I want to package it for all that versions. I'd better ask to the sip development list if someone has done something for having two python versions working at a time with it. In the meantime, I'll package the various versions with a Provides: libsip and Conflicts: libsip (all other options seem too ugly). Thanks for all the help :-)
