Agreed that it is an annoying wart.

I can see two ways we can address this.

Firstly we can introduce a 'template_name' argument to
direct_to_template that shadows the existing 'template' argument. An
error would be raised if you specify both; using 'template' would
raise a Deprecation warning.

Secondly, we can ignore it in the current implementation, and use the
migration to class-based generic views (#6735) as an excuse to clean
up that bit of API.

Patches welcome :-)
