1.9 is currently in progress; interesting it will be a time-based
release (wonder who came up with that?) and the schedule is listed here:

    https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Version1.9Roadmap

    September 21, 2015  Django 1.9 alpha; feature freeze.
    October 19          Django 1.9 beta; non-release blocking bug fix freeze.
    November 16         Django 1.9 RC 1; translation string freeze.
    2+ weeks after RC1  Django 1.9 final (or RC 2, if needed).

The timing indicates that it could make it into Debian and 16.04 if
there are no surprises and we act efficiently.
