I haven't quite figured this out myself but here's what I do.
By default all form fields have required=True. So, specifying
required=True is not necessary. If the default value is True, pre-
check the checkbox with initial={'checkme': True}. If the default
value is False, specify required=False. This has the effect, as you
noted, that the field is dropped from the posted data if the checkbox
is unchecked. But, it also has the effect of allowing the form to
validate the data correctly. Since it is not required, it doesnt
matter to the form if it is missing from the data to be validated.
Furthermore, when you retrieve the clean_data, the field will come out
as False which is what you want.
Hope this helps!
Ken
