If you want an exampple, please look at openstack-dashboard:
[1] is the config file to be dropped at /etc/httpd/conf.d (for
httpd-2.2) or [2] for httpd-2.4
The spec is here[3] for reference.

Thanks Matthias! That's quite a complicated example, although I can see
there's much I can learn from it. Unfortunately, it's not the ideal
example because it moves everything that setup.py builds into
/usr/share/openstack-dashboard. I need to keep stuff under
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages so that the other, non-Django, parts
continue to work as expected. (I suppose I could just relocate the
Django-parts of the build, but sounds like it will break more things that
it will help.)
