Comment:
The MEDIA_ROOT setting is not ignored if the `upload_to` is a callable.
The callable `upload_to` is expected to return a local filesystem path
that will then be appended to MEDIA_ROOT, just like a static `upload_to`.
(Note in both cases if these values turn out to be absolute paths then
that absolute path will be used. This will usually result in a
!SuspiciousOperation exception since Django won't allow writing to files
outside the MEDIA_ROOT tree. If, however, the absolute path happens to
fall inside the MEDIA_ROOT tree then things will work.)
