Can't delete object with ManytoMany Relationship

[Dobbes]

If you have an object with a manytomany relationship you can't delete it within the admin interface. As it spits out this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

IntegrityError: ERROR:  update or delete on "blog_entries" violates foreign key constraint "$1" on "blog_entries_categories"
DETAIL:  Key (id)=(2) is still referenced from table "blog_entries_categories".

DELETE FROM blog_entries WHERE id=2

This is from trying to delete a blog entry that is tied to the categories. The line in the Entry model is:

meta.ManyToManyField(Category, filter_interface=meta.HORIZONTAL),

I can't remove the category linking before I delete it as it is a required field so it comes back with an error message saying that the field is required.

This problem manifests in the core flatfiles interface - you can't delete a flatfile as it must contain a many to many reference to a site.
