---------------------------------+------------------------
It appears that `django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend` requires that
user models have a `user_permissions` `ManyToManyField`.
cf https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-
developers/K2cA2C3VeQw/6YoF1J9Sjx0J
This requirement isn't documented AFAICT. It should probably be mentioned
in the [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#auth-custom-
user Custom User Models] docs where the other User requirements are
listed.
Marking RB since this is an issue with a new feature
