Hey Christian,

Regarding the version number, from what I've read, there's still a reported
compatibility issue if we use the +localidentifer part of a version number
with older versions of setuptools. I need to do some testing on this. If I
don't hit any issues, I'm very happy to put an identifier on there. I would
like to keep it at 1.6.11.x, rather than 1.6.12+, so that it's very clear
we're based on upstream Django 1.6.11.

Thanks, that sounds good to me. 1.6.11.x+unofficial if possible,
otherwise 1.6.11.x

I want HTTPS on this pretty badly, though, so we might try that
approach when we can get to it.

Good :)

To attempt to compensate for this, though, we sign all the builds and
include checksums in both the links and in dedicated .sha256sum files. Not
the best solution, but it's something at least :/

Checksums alone won't provide integrity checks if I can play MITM. Only
(e.g. pgp) signatures will help. But then make sure the key ID is
published on an HTTPS page ;)

One thing was pointed out to me just now -- the downloads page _really_
should use TLS. Any chance you could make that happen?
