nut-monitor current provides /usr/bin/NUT-Monitor-py3qt5 and
Depends: python3-pyqt5

But upstream has now reconfigured nut-monitor to enable Qt6,
PR#2946 already applied in 2.8.4
https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2946

Qt6 in general provides a better user experience than Qt5
(including better Wayland support).
It should be straightforward to reconfigure nut-monitor to activate the Qt6 build.

Providing both (NUT-Monitor-py3qt6 and NUT-Monitor-py3qt5) is also an
option, but I can't see much advantage in it.  I'd say it's time to
let Qt5 go and use Qt6 by default.
