Some Rivs come with 132 mm rears to accept either road or mountain hubs. With steel, you can usually spread the dropouts by hand to get a MTN hub in a 130 opening. I would not try that on an older 126 space.
The derailler of course, has nothing to do with the hub size. I have an XT on my road Saluki and it works great. Deore is widely sold as a lower market road derailler and very often on touring bikes.
