Downgrading to 1.9 or 1.8 isn't an option indeed. What we should do is
fix Horizon, which we've been doing since 1.10 was uploaded to
Experimental last summer.

The package is not *that* broken, this seems to be a last minute bug
that hasn't been caught by the unit tests, but upstream should be able
to help fixing it.

Besides this, the bug was already filled. The title of #843108 is by the
way wrong, Horizon has *one remaining issue* (hopefully) with Django
1.10. Though it's truth it's broken with JQuery 3.1.1, which I'll
address by re-embedding jquery 1.x in python-xstatic-jquery. The
severity "normal" is accurate.
