I honestly think that trying to integrate any sort of deployment features in django will only please the few people who use that particular method of deploying code, and irritate the majority who do it in a different manner. There is no 'correct' way of doing this, and trying to find a correct way inside of django itself will only lead to constant bike-shed discussions. If you are interested in improving deployment, I suggest that initially this is done outside of django. Once it is clear that your solution is THE standard, then the discussion about bringing it inside of django can begin (qv South). FYI at $JOB would never countenance a deployment using rsync/unison/scp/whatever. Each deployment is a fresh, unmodified checkout from a specific tag/branch of an RCS, and we never update a checkout - a completely fresh deployment is rolled for each update. The correct settings for each backend are baked in from the RCS, and are specific to each backend.
