Comment:
Well, I've digged into this myself now, and I must say: This is completely
nonsensical:
When using the AbstractUser class to create a custom user model *exactly
as outlined in Django's docs* at least the first "manage.py migrate" must
work and must create an empty database table layout. The sole purpose of
the AbstractUser class is to extend the basic user with more fields. But
as you describe it, the whole class is just useless and doomed to fail. By
teh way: Permissions and auth group tables are automatically created with
the AbstractUser model.
So, either I'm doing something plainly wrong here, or the docs are lacking
some critical information/solutions, or the whole construct doesn't male
sense as it is.
