Django 1.8: relation "auth_user" does not exist

[Heleen]

Using django-stored-messages in my project causes the relation "auth_user" does not exist error after upgrading to django 1.8 (specifically when running tests where it builds a new database from scratch).
Adding explicit migrations for django-stored-messages solves the problem (like suggested in jazzband/django-oauth-toolkit#204 (comment)), but maybe migrations could be added to the project itself?

Note: you will have to use the --fake-initial flag with migrate in django 1.8. See the django docs for more information.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but it looks like the main reason this failed on Travis is that django-rest-framework dropped support for django <1.7 -- seems like a pretty reasonable decision on their part, any chance this project could do the same? I suppose the alternative would be to specify DRF versions carefully in tox, but I'm not experienced with tox so I've no idea if that's possible; at any rate it seems to me like overkill to go to much effort at all to support django as old as 1.4.
