You need not worry about this bug: a fixed urwid has been uploaded a few
hours ago, so in 5 days that message should go away.

The listed vit maintainers in Debian are:
Uploaders: Iain R. Learmonth <address@hidden>,

That's not quite the point: the bug is about removing the python2 bit,
regardless of the presence of the python3 version. As I mentioned,
that's done today :)
