Anything wrong with my_string.replace('/', '-')?

You can write your own filter. That's the idea for this sort of
situation. Django's slugify filter works in a particular way for a
particular set of input. It's intentionally not massively customisable,
because that's just a slippery slope with no bottom in sight. Writing
your own filter is easy enough that it's the preferred solution to
adding lots of knobs and levers to some of the existing simple filters.
