python-django and python-django-tables2 from jessie work but if either
one is pulled in from jessie-backports without the other, restarting
apache2 causes a HTTP500.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this a bug in django1.7 I know but it's
a (documented) change from django 1.7 to 1.8 which the version of
django-tables in jessie cannot handle.

With this combination in a (otherwise working) VM:

lava-server                   2016.3.post1-5591.7
python-django                 1.7.7-1+deb8u4
python-django-tables2         1.1.6-1~bpo8+1

i.e. upgraded django-tables with django from jessie.

sudo apache2ctl restart

causes a HTTP500

...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django_tables2/tables.py", line 185, in __new__
    extra[field_name] = columns.library.column_for_field(field)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django_tables2/columns/base.py", line 37, in column_for_field
    column = candidate.from_field(field)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django_tables2/columns/base.py", line 256, in from_field
    return cls(verbose_name=field.verbose_name)
AttributeError: 'ManyToManyRel' object has no attribute 'verbose_name'

then upgrade python-django & python-django-common to 1.8 already in
backports, apache2ctl restart again and everything works.
