Description
Catching all ImportError exceptions in django.contrib.auth.models.get_profile means it can be impossible to debug missing modules. The only solution seems to be modifying the source, seeing the underlying exception, then changing it back.
It doesn't seem very user friendly to give an exception that doesn't give the user any clue as to what the problem actually is.

You're probably right. However,
get_profileis deprecated in Django 1.6 and will be removed in Django 1.7. We generally don't improve code in deprecated sections, unless it's serious (security/data loss/crasher). Thanks for the report anyway.
