# We override the original staticfiles app according to

# However, this is buggy and requires us
# to have an exact naming of the class like this to be detected
# Also, it requires to create all commands in management/commands again
# or they don't get detected by django
# Workaround originates from https://stackoverflow.com/a/78724835/12640533
