Thanks for the bug report.

I've opened an upstream issue[1] to handle this bug.

Bug#931024: kthresher: Uses Package.section, incompatible with python-apt 1.9

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: kthresher
Severity: normal
User: de...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: apt-1.9.0

According to codesearch.d.n, kthresher contains trhe line:

"kernel" in pkg.section and re.match(kernel_image_regex, pkg_name)

The use of the section on packages has been deprecated ages ago, as
it can vary between versions. 

This causes kthresher to stop working with apt 1.9, so please migrate to
using a version's section after the buster release.
