Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of python-django the autopkgtest of 
django-mailman3, django-invitations, django-oauth-toolkit, 
django-tables, djangorestframework-filters, factory-boy, 
python-django-braces, python-django-celery-results, 
python-django-dbconn-retry, python-django-extensions, 
python-django-extra-views and python-django-rest-framework-guardian fail 
in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of 
python-django from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from 
testing.

I note that the changelog has this:
"This security release mitigates the issue, but we have identified 
improvements to the Database API methods related to date extract and 
truncate that would be beneficial to add to Django 4.1 before it's final 
release. This will impact 3rd party database backends using Django 4.1 
release candidate 1 or newer, until they are able to update to the API 
changes. We apologize for the inconvenience."

I guess that means that these breakages might be intentional, but even 
if all this is to be expected, it would be good to add a *versioned* 
Breaks to python-django3 for all the packages that it really breaks (not 
just the autopkgtest).

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of python-django to 
testing [1].
