I have a couple of nested apps, or apps that are not available directly in
the top-level namespace.
When you use makemigrations, and pass the full dotted path to this
command, the error message is somewhat misleading:
{{{
App 'integrations.systems.generic.importers' could not be found. Is it in
INSTALLED_APPS?
}}}
In this case, I have that exact string in my INSTALLED_APPS, but
makemigrations is expecting just the app_label. Perhaps we could improve
the error message when dots are detected in the app_label, suggesting how
to fix it: or even look at just the last part of the path?
