with the recent switch to HTTPS by default [0] I'm

makes sense to keep httplib2 (the upstream version, not the one
maintained at [1]) as a dependency in setup.py?
Yes, you are completely right. It makes much more sense to refer to our
version instead.
I did try adding depency links as described by [2]:
dependency_links=[
'git+
https://git.wikimedia.org/git/pywikibot/externals/httplib2.git#egg=httplib2…
'
],
I realised today there was a simpler solution than getting setuptools/pip
to understand git:
git.wikimedia.org has a .tar.gz download option. As
such, I have submitted
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/83370
which suggests
https://git.wikimedia.org/zip/?r=pywikibot/externals/httplib2.git&forma… as
download link.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
