The python modules supplied by shiboken and sip aren't application 
libraries - they're separate (and strictly optional) components that are 
designed to be imported into other python applications.

Yes, any python application/library that uses e.g. distutils for 
building and installation will almost certainly end up with most of it's 
files in site-packages (that's what it's designed for, after all).

But the sip/shiboken packages aren't primarily python applications - 
they are development tools that generate python bindings for C/C++ 
libraries (such as Qt). The python modules they include can be built for 
use with either python2 or python3. But the commandline tool itself can 
generate bindings for *both* python versions - so only one of them is 
needed. Splitting up the packages just provides a more efficient way to 
install the python2 and python3 variants side-by-side (i.e. one 
commandline tool, plus 0-2 python modules).
