I'll answer myself: it is all in the docs, and after a bit more
reading a slightly more elegant solution is to create a ModelForm on
the UserProfile model, extend it by adding the required fields for the
User model and setting that form as the form_class. Now I'm a bit
stuck on passing the user object into the save() method but I'll have
it after a bit more head scratching. More detail when I can do that.
