[Python-modules-team] Bug#772936: python-statsd: fails to import with django >= 1.5

[Filippo Giunchedi]

Package: python-statsd
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

hi,
python-statsd fails to import if python-django >= 1.5 is installed, see also
this issue:

https://github.com/jsocol/pystatsd/issues/24

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting STATSD_HOST, but
settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Fixed upstream by this commit:
https://github.com/jsocol/pystatsd/commit/f28f6c988fc087388577cd5e8df28ca8d648c0e3

I think it makes sense to package the latest upstream version, I'll take a stab
at that.
