I also would like to see Django integrated into Debian proper. Django is
getting more and more press and the package deserves to be in unstable or
experimental.

I would strongly suggest that you start maintining this package in the
python-modules subversion repository:
http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/

I can add you to the team if you agree. Just indicate me your Alioth
login.

Then, the first task will be to update the package to follow the new
Python policy as even Brett's latest 0.95 package do not seem to be ready
for release in unstable without that.

Feel free to ask for help on debian-python@lists.debian.org for that.
