Err, it's not an "official" ubuntu package, it's a compile of the debian package.... you can find that with a simple "apt-cache show python-django". Bugs, apparently, should be mailed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", I'm in the "Original-Maintainer" field. The packaging just uses python support - there's nothing clever going on there - the only thing we (me and raphael, my sponsor for that package) do is rename django-admin.py to django-admin and drop it in /usr/bin for convienience. (Oh, and change /usr/bin/env python -> /usr/bin/python, modify the bash completion to deal with django-admin. If you've got any suggestions for the packaging, I'm willing to listen!
