Comment (by danros):
I was just bitten by this!
My situation involved moving some models from one app to another. I might
have guessed that syncdb would have created a new contenttype for the
models, but i didn't expect syncdb to cascade delete all affected items
with a foreignkey referring the 'old' contenttype!
IMO this should not be the default behaviour, or if it is, there should be
*large* warnings about the possible loss of data.
