Django's existing practice would be considered a bug in Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy I realize their policy isn't binding on you as upstream, but how would you suggest they fix it? Given that the filter can't know whether the application is using it for disk, RAM, or files, I'd propose it be changed to use base-10 units to get most cases right. Richard
