18394	Better docs, and possibly better handling, for 'packages' argument to javascript_catalog	James Bennett	nobody	"The ``javascript_catalog`` i18n view's ``packages`` argument only accepts modules which are either ``django.conf`` or which are also in ``INSTALLED_APPS``. But there are two issues with this:

1. The documentation for the view hides this a bit, and can create the impression that the restriction only applies to a ``packages`` argument passed through the URL.

2. The view itself does not give you any warning if you're violating this restriction; it just silently discards anything in ``packages`` that doesn't meet the requirements.

At the very least, the documentation should be more up-front that this requirement always applies no matter how you're passing ``packages`` to the view. Possibly as a bonus, the view should warn that it's discarding any packages that don't conform to the requirements, to aid in debugging."	Bug	new	Documentation	1.4	Normal				Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
