Handling the installation of this package alongside urllib3 will be fun, since it installs files in exactly the same paths as urllib3, completely on purpose. I don't think it will be a good idea to have the binary package conflict with python3-urllib3, since that would mean introducing alternative dependencies in all reverse dependencies of python3-urllib3, which is... a lot of packages :) I guess you may need to do something like dpkg-divert in preinst or something like that, and it will need some careful testing WRT installation ordering (e.g. make sure the diversion works correctly if python3-urllib3 had not been installed before, but is installed at some point later). I'm not saying this should not be packaged, just that it will need some careful handling.
