I've done basically the same thing in a different manner. Not sure if it's any better or worse, but here's what I do:

set :application, "Your staging application"
....other settings for staging server....

desc "Set live application variables
task :live, :roles => :app do
  set :application, "Your live application"
  ....other settings for live server....
end


Then to deploy to staging its:

cap -a deploy


But to your live server its:

cap -a live deploy
