yakkety has pyqt5-dev-tools=5.7+dfsg-2.  But it actually depends on
python3-pyqt5=5.7+dfsg-2, which in turn is depends on libqt5core5a (>=
5.6.0~beta) - which is libqt5core5a=5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu6~4 in yakkety
(see [0] ff)

So no need to downgrade pyqt5 - it's built against Qt 5.6.1.

Mixing debs and pip might create a mess.  I'd avoid that.  And given the above,
there's no need to anyway.
