It doesn't look clean to have python-django recommends python3-django just
to have django-admin and django_bash_completion. I believe it would better
to move them to a "python-django-common" package, no?

And we could/should move to that common package all the non *.py files
like *.po, *.mo, *.html, *.css, *.gif, *.png, *.json, *.js, etc.

Django is relatively large, I don't like duplicating files when it's not
really needed.

In any case, feel free to commit your work to subversion, we can always
improve furter before upload.

Why is that needed? Most tools create the required directories on the fly.

Otherwise it looks good to me.
