Where do I put Django Debug Terminal in middleware

Django Debug Terminal's documentation says

The order of MIDDLEWARE is important. You should include the Debug Toolbar middleware as early as possible in the list. However, it must come after any other middleware that encodes the response’s content, such as GZipMiddleware.

But this can be a bit tricky. For example, in my settings.py I have

      MIDDLEWARE = [
      'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
      'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
      'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
  ]

In this situation is the best place to put debug_toolbar.middleware.DebugToolbarMiddleware right after django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware since that uses force_text while AuthenticationMiddleware, SessionMiddleware and MessageMiddleware don't seem to encode anything?
