Adding Aloha Editor to Django Admin jQuery compatibility issues ensue

Question

I'm writing a personal blog in Django, and would like to include Aloha Editor into the admin panel. I have been following the instructions, which failed. I then tried other things, including putting a newer version of jQuery (instead of Django's 1.4.2) into my /static/admin/js, which only broke things*. It seems jQuery is not available when it's needed (at document.ready), but at any later point, enabling Aloha from console works... through django.jQuery.
