In this case it seems you could just override the collectstatic command. That's what contrib.staticfiles does with runserver, which is a core command that gets overridden when you add the staticfiles app to your INSTALLED_APPS. >From the get_commands [0] code it looks like the last app in INSTALLED_APPS takes precedence, so adding 'coldbrew' after `staticfiles` in INSTALLED_APPS would override the default collectstatic command with coldbrew's extended version.
