Description
I think it would help to add a section to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/static-files/ about how django.contrib.staticfiles affects admin media.  When you search the page for the word "admin", it's not in there.  
Even if the section just says to set ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX (with a link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/settings/#admin-media-prefix) that would help.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea, ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX was removed in trunk after all.
Seems like a reasonable idea. It may be better placed under the admin documentation however, with links to it.
