Title:
  urllib3.util.ssltransport package refers to non-existent
  urllib3.packages.six

Status in python-urllib3 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in python-urllib3 package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  This concerns python3-urllib3 1.26.5-1~exp1ubuntu0.1 in Ubuntu jammy.

  One of the package's Python modules attempts to import another module
  that is not present in the package. This was observed in the course of
  building a current version of yt-dlp:

    ==================================== ERRORS ====================================
    ___________________ ERROR collecting test/test_http_proxy.py ___________________
    ImportError while importing test module '/tmp/yt-dlp-2024.12.06/test/test_http_proxy.py'.
    Hint: make sure your test modules/packages have valid Python names.
    Traceback:
    /usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py:126: in import_module
        return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
    test/test_http_proxy.py:88: in <module>
        import urllib3.util.ssltransport
    /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/util/ssltransport.py:6: in <module>
        from urllib3.packages import six
    E   ImportError: cannot import name 'six' from 'urllib3.packages' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/packages/__init__.py)

  There is no "six" module in the appropriate directory:

    $ ls -lF /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/urllib3/packages/
