Comment:
Just an update on this patch: I figured out the "trickery" in that
Permissions has a FK to ContentType and therefore takes care of itself
when a content type is deleted. Nice.
This patch accomplishes what I think it should...
* If a model in an installed app gets orphaned, it removes that content
type.
* If a content type is renamed, it removes the old one and installs the
new one.
* It does not track or understand a renaming happened and migrate
permissions or anything else. That's a bit outside the scope of this, I
think.
I'll work on adding docs and test cases if I can.
