I don't think this is necessarily their fault.  The reported bug is a
well known API incompatibility going from urllib3 1.23 to 1.24 and
affects more than just mythtv.

I get that at some point upstreams do daft stuff like this and a
distribution has to roll with it but it's only been 23 days since 1.24
was released so I think debian testing could do with a little more
caution, at least to give all the dependent projects time to update
their code.
