Unfortunately there's not much we can do here -- if a third-party distributor renames the script, we don't necessarily know about it (and can only document Django in the form in which we ship it).
This is accurately stated in the Django Book 2.0 chapter 2, section titled 'Starting a Project':
"...If you installed Django from a packaged version for your Linux distribution, django-admin.py might be called django-admin instead."
