Yes I realized that myself, but James Page already reported this issue on 
#809485.
It was not fixed before only because James did not need the fix immediately.

I consider this new report as a increased priority so I'm merging this bug 
with the original one and fixing this now. :)

@Ian: Thomas and Brian are right saying I was to restrictive, I realized that 
myself (see #809485), this change will allow to have a strict versioned 
dependency between requests and urllib3 upstream version leaving out Debian 
revisions. So, an upload of urllib3 1.13.1-2 (note the Debian revision bump) 
will be fine. Right now it's not. As I said in #809485 it was not fixed 
immediately because it was not so urgent at that time.

Regards,
