DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD introduced in Django 3.2 behaviour

[saevarom]

I'm in the process of upgrading a project to Wagtail 4 and Django 4.1. This is a project created with Django 3.1 but later upgraded to 3.2 and now 4.1. I have been using the DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD = 'django.db.models.BigAutoField' for a few months without problems.

After the upgrade, when I run makemigrations, Django detects changes in wagtailmenus models that do not have migrations and creates a migration file in the site-packages directory:

Migrations for 'wagtailmenus':
  /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/wagtailmenus/migrations/0024_alter_flatmenu_id_alter_flatmenuitem_id_and_more.py
    - Alter field id on flatmenu
    - Alter field id on flatmenuitem
    - Alter field id on mainmenu
    - Alter field id on mainmenuitem

I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour, I find it kind of strange that my project is creating migration files in third party package folders.

Maybe wagtailmenus needs to explicitly set the auto field for the models?
