Django Admin - add collapse to a fieldset, but have it start expanded

Is there a way to make a fieldset collapsible, but start expanded? When you add collapse to the fieldset classes, it gets the functionality but starts collapsed. I've taken a look at the JS that shows/hides the fieldset content, but it doesn't look like there's anything in there to do what I'd like it to, so I'm assuming I'll have to roll my own. Just wanted to check before I went through that effort.

Starting from Setomidor answer, I'd like to suggest a simpler alternative that does exactly what you want (if Grappelli is not an option, obviously).

Create the template override as explained (admin/(app)/(model)/change_form.html) and instead of removing the collapsible effect for the "add" model case, simply call the click method of the field-set collapser (i.e. the small link with the show/hide text) to have the whole field-set expanded as soon as the page loads.
