New description:

 A common use case for RunPython (known in South as data migrations) is to
 port data from one model to another. When you do this across apps, you
 must add the other app to `dependencies`. Otherwise you get a moderately
 helpful:
 `LookupError: No installed app with label 'people'.`

 Do you think it's worth documenting?

Comment:

 any docs.
