I want to add that my request is now to upload 1.7.4-1 since upstream
released a new bugfix version:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7.4/

BTW, that version contains a fix for an unreported FTBFS that we have in
Debian and that has been introduced by the recent security patches and thus
by Neil's NMU:
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24193

(Just verified my assertion by running sbuild on version 1.7.1-1.1)

Please don't let this request languish for ever.

/me just suffered the pain of backporting Django security patches
to version 1.2 for squeeze-lts. I really want to make it easier for
us in the future by following upstream closely on their stable release
when there's really few risks in doing so.

Thanks.
