The answer is to create a bootstrap csproj for your web role, that does nothing. This will be the DLL that gets locked by WaIISHost.

Then create the real web projects as separate sites using the option in the csdef file. Once you've done this, you can deploy any of your sites using web deploy and they will work, as long as they have no reference to your bootstrap dll (since they won't copy that file)
