Recent versions of git-buildpackage should no longer call debian/rules
clean IIRC. But you can disable this with:

[DEFAULT]
cleaner = /bin/true

in ~/.gbp.conf

Alternatively you can build with "--git-ignore-new" too.

I'm not sure that adding such a script in /usr/bin/ is a good idea.
It doesn't have a manpage, it's a temporary hack, etc.

I would put the script in the doc directory and I would document
to run it as:
sh /usr/share/doc/python-django/migrate-south --settings app.settings

Then it's more logical to not change the dependencies and just document
(as you did) the need to install virtualenv.
