+NOTE. (this has more to do with my own vserver-based technique to
+create debian VM's)
+
+======================================== Install from tarball
+
+https://www.djangoproject.com/download/
+
+$tar xzvf Django-1.5.2.tar.gz
+$cd Django-1.5.2
+$sudo python setup.py install
+
+=============== Install locales [needed]
+I found it useful to also do the following at some point
+# apt-get install locales
+# dpkg-reconfigure locales
+-> en_US.UTF-8
+
+The thing is I enter my debian box from a MAC through ssh, and the
+MAC has this set: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
+and I was getting a lot of warnings relating to that anyways
+
+==================== postinstall
+. manage.py syncdb
+. manage.py collectstatic --noinput
