Overriding the change_list template is really your only choice. Did you get errors? or did your content not show up? The hierarchy of your templates directory is directly related to how/where Django looks for templates.
Double check the documentation on overriding admin templates. You may have made a simple mistake: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates
