They're not identical, but should be functionally equivalent. I'm not
able to reproduce your results: I copied the "loggers" part of your
config into a Django 1.3 project, and from a manage.py shell session:

Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:09:56)
[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(InteractiveConsole)
>>> import logging
>>> logger = logging.getLogger('djfront.auth.facebook')
>>> logger.debug('Debug')
>>> logger.info('Info')
2011-09-02 10:51:13,445 INFO     djfront.auth.facebook Info
>>>

... as expected.

Since it's Python 2.6, it should be using the dictconfig which ships
with Django 1.3.
