 Here is a minimal example:
 {{{
 #!python
 from django.db import models

 class Service(models.Model):
     name = models.TextField()

 class ServiceAction(models.Model):
     performed = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
     service = models.ForeignKey(Service)
 }}}

 Then add some models:
 {{{
 #!python
 >>> from dbtest.models import Service, ServiceAction
 >>> from django.db.models import Min, Max
 >>> s1 = Service.objects.create(name='test1')
 >>> s2 = Service.objects.create(name='test2')
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=1)
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=1)
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=1)
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=2)
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=2)
 >>> ServiceAction.objects.create(service_id=2)
 }}}

 ...and query them using aggregations:
 {{{
 #!python
 >>> qs = ServiceAction.objects.extra(select={'period':
 
'(MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed")-MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed"))'}).values('service_id').annotate(first_action=Min('performed'),
 last_action=Max('performed'))
 >>> print(qs.query)
 SELECT "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id",
 MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "last_action",
 MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "first_action" FROM
 "dbtest_serviceaction" GROUP BY "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id"
 }}}

 As you can see the {{{.extra(select=...)}}} has been dropped from the
 query. I assume this happens on Django 1.6.x, 1.7.x and 1.8.x, but I have
 only tested 1.6.11 and 1.8.

 The expected outcome would have been:

 {{{
 SELECT "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id",
 MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "last_action",
 MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "first_action",
 MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed")-MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed")
 as "period" FROM "dbtest_serviceaction" GROUP BY
 "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id"
 }}}

 In Django 1.8 this exact query can be performed with the ORM itself
 through the use of chained aggregations:

 {{{
 #!python
 >>> qs =
 
ServiceAction.objects.values('service_id').annotate(first_action=Min('performed'),
 last_action=Max('performed'), period=Max('performed')-Min('performed'))
 >>> print(qs.query)
 SELECT "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id",
 (MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") -
 MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed")) AS "period",
 MAX("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "last_action",
 MIN("dbtest_serviceaction"."performed") AS "first_action" FROM
 "dbtest_serviceaction" GROUP BY "dbtest_serviceaction"."service_id"
 }}}
