Answer 1

It works with Django 1.5+ and seems fine & elegant:

// admin.py
class BoxAdmin(ModelAdmin):

    inlines = ()

    def change_view(self, request, object_id, form_url='', extra_context=None):
        self.inlines = (ItemChangeInline, )
        return super(BoxAdmin, self).change_view(request, object_id)

    def add_view(self, request, form_url='', extra_context=None):
        self.inlines = (ItemAddInline, )
        return super(BoxAdmin, self).add_view(request)

hope it can be useful for anyone
