New description:
Tutorial 2 shows how to change the admin's header (see also #21378).
However, in Django 1.7, there's a better way to achieve this particular
task:
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.AdminSite.site_header
AdminSite.site_header].
If that example is intended to demonstrate how to override a template,
then it should tackle another use case for which overriding templates is
the simplest choice.
If it is intended to show how to customize the admin's header, then it
should describe the simplest solution.

Comment:
I've rewritten the ticket because the state of the reporter's ass is only
marginally relevant to the Django project ;-) However, the idea is valid.
