Please remove python-django-openid-auth and replace it with python-django-auth-openid from Debian

[Chris Johnston]

Greetings,

Please remove python-django-openid-auth from quantal. I am requesting this because python-django-auth-openid is in the repos and comes from Debian, where python-django-openid-auth does not. The current version of python-django-openid-auth is outdated by two versions and has not been updated.

Please remove the source packages and the binary packages. No packages depend on this package.

Ack from a MOTU (In fact, I asked Chris to request this)

We should probably get Breaks+Replaces added to python-django-auth-openid

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Neither of the usual approaches [0] for renaming a package are ideal here.
* Breaks+Replaces: apt won't transition people to the new package
* transitional package: Either needs to be added in Debian, or we need to carry an Ubuntu delta until after T-series.

However, we could replace python-django-openid-auth with a transitional package and remove it post-T-series. Maybe that's the simplest answer.
