It seem to be that the blog app defines "/" to be the list view in its
urls.py. Mezzanine includes the blog's urls.py, adding the BLOG_SLUG prefix.
The app I am integrating also defines it's own urls. I simply included
these in my project's urls.py(above the mezzanine catch-all):
("^pastes/", include('dpaste.urls.dpaste')),
Then I created a RichTextPage with the name "Pastes" and no parent to match
this url. I can successfully visit the dpaste app from the added navigation
link. When I remove the dpaste url include, I can successfully visit the
RichTextPage.

My problem is that I have created the page with the slug but Mezzanine is
not inserting the page variable into my context, so the navigation link
does not receive an "active" class.

Yes I've done all this, thats how I was able to see that the template was
not being passed the "page" context variable...
Here is a related screenshot:

You can see that a "Pastes" page exists and that the browser is visiting
the "/pastes/" url, however the "Pastes" link is not shaded as active(and
yes the theme does define a different color for "active" tabs, it works
fine for the blog app).
The breadcrumb only exists because I hardcoded it into the template, which
would be unneeded if the page variable was inserted.
