The package fails to build with Django 1.7:

   debian/rules override_dh_auto_test
make[1]: Entering directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»'
set -e; \
for python in python2.7; do \
        $python sitetree/runtests.py; \

    raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.")
django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_test] Error 1

To get past this error you need to add this to your test script:

import django
if hasattr(django, 'setup'):
    django.setup()
