We package into RPMs and manage configuration with Puppet.
Have a look at Apache Bigtop (incubating) for RPM and DEB package build harness
and integration/smoke tests. It's a promising project.
You can also Google around for presentations on this topic by Arvind at
StumbleUpon. He talks about how they use tarballs for deploy and Puppet for
configuration management and Fabric for coordination.
I'd say RPM package management and Puppet configuration management is common,
maybe most common, but that last bit is just a guess.
Hope that helps,
