This is kind of why I keep coming back to: "Why do we have
python-django at all?" I don't really see any reason why we shouldn't
kill off the python-django package and just carry 'python-django15'
and 'python-django16' packages with a conflict.

The number of incompatibilities between releases is such that I don't
think we really want to be forcing upgrades on other packages at all.
We should just be carrying whichever two versions are supported by
upstream at any given time. Upstream is very good about maintaining
bugfixes and security fixes in both supported streams.
