I'm mostly guessing, but you can try defining a custom widget for the
field. I'm not sure how much of the behavior of datetime fields
depends on the javascript that gets slapped to them. So instead, maybe
you could override the field's to_python method to append/replace the
seconds as needed, or basically always setting them to 00. Now that I
think of it, this is probably the easiest solution.
