For another solution, have a look at django-admin, provided by the
django-common package. You can call it using any of the following ways:

brian at aquitard:~$ django-admin    # run as sh; autodetect python
brian at aquitard:~$ python2 /usr/bin/django-admin    # force python 2
brian at aquitard:~$ python3 /usr/bin/django-admin    # force python 3

That way it works if only python-django is installed and it also works if
only python3-django is installed.

The ability to force a particular version of python may not be so useful
for virtualenv however.
