Perhaps a suitable solution could be setting a CSS id attribute ('is_admin'?) to be used in the HTML body tag so that those who want to could format admin pages differently? Or some other sort of CSS flag?
You can use sections.module perfectly for this.

But has anyone noticed that There is a growing problem with the user not being able to find functionality within the present UI because most of it is hidden within collapsed list. At present listing is starting to get more out of hand as modules and their administration become more complicated. This will be escalated by the addition of more core modules which are not configurable and cannot be turned off in most cases. A UI I nested list should never be more than 3 deep and 7 items per list. after that the user starts getting lost and frustrated. I is very close to CLI in that the user is expected to learn the structure and syntax first before being able to give a command. The list admin structure is counter intuitive and has absolutly no visual cues. Visual overview, grouping and visual cues are the reason for the popularity of just about every UI including the most popular, Windows. In this particular case it is not a matter of themeing either. The child pages are complete and have explainations within them. It it the UI leading to them that is the bottleneck. There is no overview of the structure of the admin UI.
