Updating to Django 1.3 - how to preserve file field previous behaviour

Hi all,

According to http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.3/#filefield-no-longer-deletes-files
FileField fields no longer delete the related file when the instance
is deleted.

I understand the motivations behind this decision BUT this creates
several side effects in various websites which I have developed.

Is it there a way to keep the original behaviour?

If not, which one in your opinion is the best way to delete files when
the owning instance has been deleted?
A post delete signal? Will this suffer from the original problem for
which the file deletion has been removed?
