  Description     : Allows superusers to login as and work on behalf of other users

django-hijack allows superusers to hijack or login as and work on
behalf of other users without knowing their credentials. This is handy
for testing and debug user problems by the django superuser.

I am one of the upstream maintainers of lava-server project available
in Debian. We are introducing a mechanism in lava-server where a
superuser can switch user accounts, which requires django-hijack
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-hijack). django-hijack, has a
dependency on django-compat which is proposed in wnpp via
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786898 I would like
to package the latest version (1.0.7) of django-hijack. I would like
to maintain this package along with the "Debian LAVA team" members,
who already agree the need for django-hijack package in Debian.
