Description
If I inherit "django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm" and specify my custom "username" field
username = forms.CharField(label=_("Name"), max_length=75)
it ignores my label.
The reason is the last line of the init method, which set the label.

There could be an if statement:
if not self.fields['username'].label:
self.fields['username'].label = capfirst(self.username_field.verbose_name)
