With the following sip file content

 void printTestDeprecated() /Deprecated="Example: this"/;

I get the following error message

sip-install: /home/julien/myconf/sip-examples/deprecated/deprecated.sip: line 21: column 31: 'Example' is not a known qualifier

There is no other way to escape the ':'

Escaping special characters in string annotations
a0d45a9 
The value of a string annotation uses the `;` and `:` characters to allow
platform- and feature-specific values to be defined.  These special
characters can now be escaped using a leading `\\`.  This capability has
now been documented.

Resolves Python-SIP#59

: and ; can now be escaped with \. The documentation has been updated to describe what's going on.
