Hello LRP, Your problem is not with yout PYTHONPATH but with your user's profile PATH. If your Debian can't find django-admin.py it's because it's not on your "bin" directory (which usually is /usr/bin but can also be in /usr/local/bin). Synlink django-admin.py into /usr/bin (once you've already tryied /usr/local/bin and make sure to give it execution permissions (chmod +x) after the link is there.
I really don't think the problem is on django's docs cause I've translated this tutorial for Brazilian Portuguese and no one has ever complained about it. Good luck and let us know if you have any other problems..
