This is what I do currently, and I have done for almost a year (since I got my latest laptop). I'm not sure what you consider to be the "wierd and incomplete modules" - the only two problems I have had are with PIL and MySQL, and the MySQL problem is more about MySQL than Django or Python. > 3.

It worked fine; as a bonus, it was easy (well.. easier) to switch between pacakge versions for testing. I don't remember X.org being a dependency - there may be an option to turn this off. Anyway, YMMV. At the end of the day, do whatever works for you and you are comfortable with.
