Python-django doesn't have a great track record regarding needing security updates [1]. I don't think it's reasonable to ask the security team to support two versions. Neither do I think it would be appropriate to ship a package this risky without security support. I'm currently supporting security backports for Django 1.6 on wheezy and jessie for customers and it can be a lot of work. Much as I know you don't want to hear it, I think the only path to success is to make openstack work with 1.10.
