The thing is that actually very little of this is unique to Django. The types of tools you need to deploy dynamic-language-based web applications don't differ depending what the "P" in LAMP stands for.
The rails community from the beginning has had a more holitstic view of the problem it is solving.
The third tab on the rails site is about deployment. There are three performance monitoring companies and 6 different rails specific hosts.
Other examples: db schema evolution (migrations) and rake tasks. There is also a litany of useful maintance tools you can find on github.
This is not just in reference to code either, its everything else too, including documentation.
I like django, I prefer django, but in this one critical area, the last mile, rails does better. And its frustrating because its not a hard problem.
