Here's a status update on moving dango.contib.core/auth into django.contirb:

* Move sessions from core to django.contrib.sessions (and change dependencies)
Done.

* Move sites from core to django.contrib.sites (and change dependencies)
Done.

* Move auth to django.contrib.admin (and change dependencies)

Done. Earlier in this thread, Ian Holsman requested that auth should
be further split into authentication and authorization. Personally, I
don't see a need to do this until support for LDAP, ACL's, or whatever
is added. Comments?

* Remove Package model (and dependencies on it)
Ian Holsman still uses this. I'm things we may want to just change
this to App or Application instead of Package. I can see how it
*would* be useful, although I haven't used it myself. I'll defer to
Adrian and Jacob on this.

* Move contenttypes to django.contrib.contenttypes (and change dependencies)
If Package stays, then should packages and contenttypes both go into
separate apps?

* Change django-admin init to install sites, auth, sessions, contenttypes
init now installs sessions, sites, auth. It also installs the old
django.models.core for now (this will of course be changed once that
module is moved to django.contrib)

* Add django-admin init-minimal
Done. init-minimal still installs django.models.core for now.

* Add sessions, sites, auth, and contenttypes to the default settings template
I'll do this once the issues with packages and contenttypes are
straightened out.
