Well if it's not in the database, then auto_initialize() can't be expected
to find it. The convention manager might be able to help if the primary key
is a single column that's named according to its convention. Failing that,
you could either define your own custom convention manager to help you, or
you just have to define the primary key manually, the "old fashioned way"
__PACKAGE__->meta->primary_key_columns(...);
