I'm ambivalent, but leaning toward "no". In my experience, it's very
rare to have media files that are truly coupled to a single specific
application; django.contrib.admin is the only example I can think of.
This is a consequence of the fact that, most of the time, media files
vary from site to site -- Site A uses this stylesheet and this icon
set and this JavaScript toolkit, but Site B has its own styles, its
own icon set and uses a different JS toolkit.

The same generally goes for templates; it's actually fairly rare,
outside of templates used by inclusion tags, that you can provide
templates to be usable by any site an application is installed on.

So I wouldn't see much utility in adding a new option to support this
sort of case; if you run into a situation where you truly do need to
do this (as with the admin), you can package the media files and tell
people to symlink or copy them.
