I'd love to see this having an actual story "deploying django on dotcloud" - this has less content than the front page of dotcloud.com

How did this get to the front page?

There's a detailed Django tutorial in dotCloud's docs: http://docs.dotcloud.com/tutorials/python/django/

dotCloud is a YC S10 company. The submitter is a recent hire.

I doubt there's any conspiracy about the upvoting though: Django, PaaS, and YC companies are all popular topics on HN. Having a professional marketer handling the submission couldn't hurt.
