Control: tag -1 + confirmed

The package fails to build with Django 1.7:

   debian/rules override_dh_auto_test

  PYTHON=$python ./runtests.sh; \
done

This is normal. South cannot be used with Django 1.7, Django supports migrations natively now.
You should skip this check with Django 1.7 and see if there's anything to fix to make it work
with native Django migrations.
