Well, except the default urls.py sets up django.views.static.serve
for most of those, except media. However, since this is likely not
very performant, I use apache2 Aliases:

  Alias /images/ "/srv/patchwork/htdocs/images/"
  Alias /css/ "/srv/patchwork/htdocs/css/"
  Alias /js/ "/srv/patchwork/htdocs/js/"
  Alias /robots.txt "/srv/patchwork/htdocs/robots.txt"
  <Directory "/srv/patchwork/htdocs">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  Alias /media/ "/usr/share/python-support/python-django/django/contrib/admin/media/"
  <Directory "/usr/share/python-support/python-django/django/contrib/admin/media/">
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

The problem was that I had /admin/media there in the site I used to
bootstrap the WSGI configuration, probably to avoid namespace
pollution.

Works now, thanks.

I sent an update to the patch in
