[Python-modules-team] Bug#863267: python-django: Upgrades from jessie to stretch

[Adrian Bunk]

Source: python-django
Version: 1:1.10.7-1
Severity: serious
Control: block 847277 by -1
Control: block 863259 by -1

This bug is based on #847277, #863259, and the related
discussion on the debian-backports list.

If upgrading from 1.7 in jessie to 1.10 in stretch is not
fully supported unless upgrading through 1.8, then 1.8 is
required in stretch.

Either in addition to 1.10 (with properly supported and
documented 1.7 -> 1.8 -> 1.10 upgrade paths), or as 2:1.8

If lava-server is in a special situation due to doing
something very uncommon, then this bug should be closed
and the severity of #847277 set back to RC (with the likely
consequence that lava-server won't be part of stretch).
