The admin application doesn't currently have any special handling for m2m relations with intermediate tables, so the approach you describe is the only way to do it. The only way to do this would be to write your own view, and customize the manipulator to represent m2m with intermediate tables. That said, 'm2m with intermediate' is a relatively common use case, so if you have any neat ideas on how to represent such a structure, feel free to suggest them. The idea has been discussed before, but no obvious solution has emerged (the real sticking point is querying the intermediate table - check the archives for previous discussions).
