Hi,

I haven't read all this thread in detail and I might go off-topic. Sorry
about that.

I know when having a variable named "DEBUG" instead of "DJANGO_DEBUG"
affected me... due to a bug in Thunderbird and how, in that machine,
variables for the Django project were set.

Thunderbird on Debian didn't run at all because the launcher has a bug
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960230 ). If DEBUG is
set it doesn't run. If the bug wasn't there, well, it would have ran in
DEBUG mode probably or if Django named it DJANGO_DEBUG it would have not
affected Thunderbird. I thought of prefixing variables when possible to
avoid these interactions.

Cheers,
