Actually, I wasn't aware that upower was actually built against
libimobiledevice, that's why I was surprised. But it totally makes sense in
the end, and it's likely an issue with libimobiledevice and I'm reassigning it
back.

That beeing said, it would be helpful to know when the problem started
appearing for you. libimobiledevice wasn't updated recently, but libusbmuxd
was, and it seems that there might be a really tight dependency between both,
and the libimobiledevice currently in testing and sid (there's a one sitting
in NEW) was built against the previous version of libusbmuxd.
