Which python-django version for yakkety?

[Luke Faraone]

I'd recommend staying on 1.8; while 1.10 will be supported through the end
of 2017, 1.8 is an LTS release, and a reasonable target for e.g third-party
extensions to continue to build on top of. Switching this close to FF seems
risky for minor benefit.

Shipping 1.10 in Debian makes sense, since we're hoping to be able to
include 1.11 LTS in stretch.
