Hi all,

I'm having trouble detecting changes that happen to a M2M field behind the 
scenes: as a result of one of the *referenced objects being deleted*

I'm using Django 1.3.1 with PostgreSQL 8

Let's say we have the following simple proof of concept models:

class Topping(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()

class Pizza(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    toppings = models.ManyToManyField(Topping, null=true, blank=true)

And this data established using those models:

    TOPPING
    id=1, name="Pepperoni"
    id=2, name="Onion"
    id=3, name="Mushroom"

    PIZZA
    id=1, name="foopizza"
    toppings=1,2,3

Known Facts:

1. Deleting any Topping object (for example, deleting id=1, 
name="Pepperoni") also removes it from foopizza.toppings.  Good.
2. No m2m_changed signal is sent when 1 (above happens).  BAD.

How do I tie into "topping *object* was deleted (no longer for sale), 
perform custom code on ALL Pizza objects that referenced it" ?

Register a post_delete signal for Topping?  How do I refer to or find the 
Pizza objects that referred to it?
