 Here are the related settings:

 {{{
 MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
 'media', '')).replace('\\','/')
 MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
 STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, 'site')
 STATIC_URL = MEDIA_URL + 'site/'
 ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = STATIC_URL + 'admin/'
 STATICFILES_DIRS = ()
 STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
     'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
     'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
 #    'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
     'compressor.finders.CompressorFinder',
 )
 }}}

 How to re-produce:

 1. Run : {{{python manage.py collectstatic -l --noinput}}}
 1. Put some extra static files in STATIC_ROOT
 1. Re-run {{{python manage.py collectstatic -l --noinput}}}
 1. The extra files have been replaced by symlinks pointing to themselves.
