Because it is None.

Replying to ubernostrum:
Because it is
None.
Then we should uniform displaying of None fields and None ForeignKeys since normally fields are displayed as "None" while empty foreignkeys are displayed as "(None)"

(None) seems more accurate than nothing to me, since it's set to NULL, not just an empty string or such (which doesn't fit with an fkey)
