Right now, there are two ways of creating Permissions, either through a
Model's Meta class, or using the Permission.objects.create method. The
problem is, both of this ways require having the permission attached to a
model, even when sometimes it does not really make sense. There are ways
to work around this, of course, such as creating a dummy model just to
hold permissions that don't really fit anywhere or overriding the default
User model and fitting them there. Possible solutions I can think of are
either removing the mandatory ContentType specification on the Permission
model or providing a 'global' ContentType.
