Maybe because there is a high change that you will try to find rows based on this SlugField, so in common cases this INDEX will be nice.
Also it's documented on http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#slugfield that this field has an implicit db_index=True, BUT you can always pass db_index=False if you do not want the index.
