I think I did this already:

#807998 - bcfg2-web (possibly unfixed)
#807999 - lava-server (fixed)
#808000 - python-django-sitetree (fixed)

If there are any other packages - I haven't looked for some time now -
feel free to report bugs.

What is the plan here? Brian/David, maybe you could just file RC bugs
on the rdepends to move away from django-south? thanks!

Source: python-django-south
Version: 1.0.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Package is broken with Django 1.7+ in Debian and not fit for release. It
will not get fixed, as the functionality has been replaced by the Django
1.7 migration mechanism.

I was going to file a bug report to remove the package, however then I
noticed there are packages that still depend on this package.
