Well, there's one precedent that is quite pertinent here, and that is AUTH_USER_MODEL. But a setting for the length of a field in a built-in app is problematic because it would imply a migration in that app, rather than user apps.
In principle we could write the d.c.auth migration by hand to take the setting in account, and declare the setting as unchangeable like AUTH_USER_MODEL, but that would be very ugly special-casing IMO.
