Changing django-heroku-postgresify with dj-database-url?

I suggest to change your django-heroku-postgresify package with the officially mentioned dj-database-url. The two packages are similar but the last is mentioned in the official doc page of heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django

django-heroku-postgresify actually uses dj-database-url, but adds extra functionality so that django-skel can automatically create your DATABASES dict, and populate it with all your databases automatically. This allows you to setup multi-database stuff a lot easier.
