If you create alot of data via fixtures or by inserting the pk you will more than likely see alot of issues with the sequences being out in postgres when creating new records.

Similar to: Foo with the pk(x) already exists

This you have to fix by updating the postgres sequences to start at the correct number.

The below will ensure after every migrate all sequences in predefined apps get reset.
