Just a data point:  Debian Stable (Wheezy) has python-django version
1.4.5, whereas Testing (Jessie) (which will become Stable soon(?)) has
1.7.7.  So Stable is already unsupported by patchwork.

Debian Stable has python version 2.7.3 and python3 version 3.2.3, while
Testing has 2.7.9 and 3.4.2 respectively.

Its probably also worth considering what is in the latest Ubuntu LTS,
RHEL and SLES releases.
