the maintainer of pyqt has now confirmed that pyuic is compatible 
between python 2 and 3.

nevertheless, i still think it is an ugly solution to have python3 as a 
dependency of a python2 package. many users will have removed python3 
from their systems, as there are currently relatively few other packages 
that depend on it.
