At Mozilla, we use a homegrown template called Playdoh[1][2] that includes split settings file, some sample deployment scripts, and lots of useful libraries that handle stuff like secure cookies, localization, strong password hashing, etc. I'm not super-familiar with our deployment process, but I do know that we have internal git repos that hold our production and dev environments (like local settings) and use puppet for setting up servers.
