The naming and timing of the post-syncdb signal is mostly a historical artefact. The documentation for the post-syncdb signal could be improved to highlight the exact ordering that takes place. You're not the first to suggest a 'really post syncdb' signal, either. "database done" was the last proposal I remember seeing. Personally, I'm not morally opposed to such a signal, I'm just not particularly motivated to work on it myself. The only use case I've seen is deleting indexes that have been created automatically.
