Absolutely correct:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
Because the django-admin script is put in to /usr/bin, it needs to
follow Debian policy! However - for the people that *really* want to use
django-admin.py, you can do:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/python-django/bin
Which holds the various django bin files.
