Comment (by johanneswilm):
Is anyone working on fixing this in Django itself? The workarounds may
work in a lot of cases, but when you have an application set up to rely on
the Django migration system for any database change and have it deployed
on thousands of servers that are not under your direct control, it is
somewhat useless.
Would it not be possible to create one special type of migration for this
purpose? Maybe something as simple as let the migration that creates the
user model check wither `auth.User` has been in use, and if so, copy over
entries from there.
