Comment:

 The patch as written is not correct.  It isn't correct for `deepcopy` to
 return a shallow copy.  Either the object itself is immutable, in which
 case it should simply return `self`, or all of its components are
 immutable, in which case **they** should have `__deepcopy__` methods which
 simply return `self`.  After discussing with Jacob, our conclusion is that
 the right fix is to make `django.db.model.options.Options` and
 `django.db.model.fields.Field` immutable (via changing their
 `__deepcopy__`).
