Currently when you create a nested app with startapp:

{{{
./manage.py startapp example apps/example
}}}

The app config will only set `ExampleConfg.name = "example"` however the
correct value should be `"apps.example"`

I'd recommend this be accepted as a bug with what seems like an easy fix:

- We should be able to use `settings.BASE_DIR` (if it wasn't removed) and
`os.path.relpath()` to check if the specified target directory is within
the project and convert it to a Python path if so.
- If for some reason `BASE_DIR` doesn't exist or the target directory is
outside the base dir then we just leave it as the app's name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Comment (by David Sanders):

Ah thanks Sarah… I searched but didn't get that. Glad you're on top of
all the tickets ❤️

I might comment on that and ask felix to reconsider because my suggestion
is slightly different to the one in that ticket's PR
