Bug#1109960: statsmodels: fails with import with scipy 1.16

[Drew Parsons]

Source: statsmodels
Version: 0.14.4+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Control: tags -1 fixed-upstream

statsmodels fails completely to import with scipy 1.16 (from
experimental).
e.g.

 81s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/statsmodels/distributions/discrete.py:5: in <module>
 81s     from scipy._lib._util import _lazywhere
 81s E   ImportError: cannot import name '_lazywhere' from 'scipy._lib._util' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scipy/_lib/_util.py)

The problem is fixed upstream,
available in upstream release 0.14.5.

This bug will become RC serious later, once scipy 1.16 is uploaded to
unstable.
