It is much more complicated than just changing the module name. SIP v4 (and v5, in compatibility mode) had a command-line tool that accepted all relevant details about project configuration as command-line arguments. In SIP v6, the project should have a pyproject.toml and, in most cases, project.py files for that purpose. See [1] and [2] for examples of such files. Sometimes, when the content of pyproject.toml can not be static, and it needs to be generated at build time. For example, krita [3] and QGIS [4] do that. If you want to see how a patch for porting to the new build system could look like, take a look at [5] or [6]. There is an alternative approach that involves using sipbuild API directly, without pyproject.toml file, however that API is poorly documented and can change between releases. But as porting is a major work (and sorry, I am more busy than I was in 2021 and I don't have time for that), I would recommend contacting upstream and providing this information to them first. If a project is active, they will have to do that anyway (SIP v4 does not support Python 3.11+). If the project is dead, maybe it's not worth it, and ball should be removed from Debian?
