In development mode, staticfiles will just serve the files directly from
your app's static/ directories without using the directory where
collectstatic places them. That's proper behaviour for development.

The directory that collectstatic fills is just for your production
environment where you've got a proper webserver to serve that directory.

So... it is by design :-)
