Using this package just for abstract models

[iMerica]

Hi,

Is there a way I can leverage the abstract base classes of this package to extend my existing models? Currently the documentation suggest adding organizations to INSTALLED_APPS but this creates organization_organization tables. I want these models/tables to be in my own app.

When I attempt to only use the classes without adding it to INSTALLED_APPS in this package, I see

You have to treat it as a separate library. And import the abstract models from it.
