This problem still exists in django2.1. I solved it by using the indexes Meta option. This is a bit cleaner than the index_together solution.

class Person(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField()
    last_name = models.CharField()

    class Meta:
        indexes = [
            models.Index(fields=['last_name']),
        ]
