The PyQt5 upstream does not use standard Python tools for building the package. As shipped by upstream, a source build of PyQt5: python3 configure.py make sudo make install does not install any egg information. Only the upstream wheels provide anything. They provide a PyQt5-5.10.dist-info directory which appears to perform a similar function. This is probably not feasible in Debian as we split PyQt5 into a number of sub-packages to minimize the dependencies that get pulled in for various applications. I'm not sure how to manage the egg-info for such a case.
