 Currently, django.contrib.admin.widget.RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper defines:

 {{{
     def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
         obj = copy.copy(self)
         obj.widget = copy.deepcopy(self.widget, memo)
         obj.attrs = self.widget.attrs
         memo[id(self)] = obj
         return obj
 }}}

 I tried to run the tests (with python3 runtests.py admin*) after removing
 that, and it seemed like it didn't break anything. So my first question
 is: what use case is this meant to support ? Is that use case tested ?

 Also, RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper inherits from Widget, which defines:

 {{{
     def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
         obj = copy.copy(self)
         obj.attrs = self.attrs.copy()
         memo[id(self)] = obj
         return obj
 }}}

 Question is: can we change RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper.__deepcopy__ to:

 {{{
     def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
         obj = super(RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper, self).__deepcopy__(memo)
 copy.copy(self)
         obj.widget = copy.deepcopy(self.widget, memo)
         return obj
 }}}

 Like in MultiWidgets, which has:

 {{{
     def __deepcopy__(self, memo):
         obj = super(MultiWidget, self).__deepcopy__(memo)
         obj.widgets = copy.deepcopy(self.widgets)
         return obj
 }}}

 Another problem I found is that it didn't seem to break any test to just
 remove RelatedFieldWidgetWrapper.__deepcopy__. Is it tested anywhere ? Or
 should we add a test for that too ?
