try the YAML '>' escaping mechanism (
http://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2503232):

lineinfile: >

dest="{{deploy_root}}/{{instance}}/{{project}}/{{project}}/local_settings.py"

    regexp='^NAME'
    line="NAME: {{db_name}},"

The lines following the '>' to be interpreted as a scalar and not a
potential YAML structure.

"All parts should go together without forcing.  You must remember that
the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you.  Therefore,
if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.  By all
means, do not use a hammer."  -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
