Whenever distinct() doesn't seem to work like it should the first thing to
check is whether an oder_by() specified in the queryset is causing the
duplicates (see
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/querysets/#distinct). Adding
order_by() to the queryset you are using will clear any previously specified
ordering and should eliminate the duplicates (if that is in fact what is
causing the problem).
