autopkgtest only, so no FTBFS?

Some of us want failing autopkgtest to be RC *after* the release of
buster. I am not aware of consensus about that yet. autopkgtest
*regression* in testing is effectively RC since the soft freeze of
12-2-2019. The autopkgtest of python-scipy is already failing in
testing, so it isn't a regression. Hence, it failing is not RC for buster.

Please *don't* upload scipy 1.2 to fix only this issue (nor for any
other issue without discussion first), it's for sure not worth it.

If you upload now, your package will not migrate to testing before the
full freeze becomes effective so it would need an unblock. If you want
to fix this issue with the three lines I saw in the bug report, you can
go ahead. However, it is probably worth waiting for a resolution of bug
915738 and combine it with that.
