Although I admire the work that has gone into the package, I think it's best kept separate.
As the creator of Django-MySQL I did once propose merging parts of it as django.contrib.mysql, but I cooled to the idea when I realized it's easier to make changes when not kept in lock-step with Django. For example, a new field type can be added and made available on all supported versions of Django. In fact, I'd even advocate splitting out django.contrib.postgres if it wouldn't be too much of a pain :) django-pgcrypto-fields seems to fit the same template, it provides 18 field classes, and it's also relatively niche. Most applications just need encryption at rest and in transit for the whole DB, which normally lives entirely outside Django land.
