As we discussed in IRC, I don't think it's such a surprising behavior that it needs a warning and I prefer to try to link together our docs rather than say the same thing in multiple places. For example in docs/topics/auth/default.txt we could add a link so that:

  "prompts you to create a superuser"

becomes:

  "prompts you to create a :attr:`superuser <django.contrib.auth.models.User.is_superuser>`".

Similar links for the is_staff flag would be helpful.
