That's what I did now - just exported the png buttons without "beta", 
zipped them together and attached them to the issue where these buttons 
are decided crucial for the final release:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32142

As they will probably stay present on the www.documentfoundation.org 
website even if the www.libreoffice.org website is the more prominent 
one, when it has been released, my previous thoughts on avoiding 
unnecessary work have been wrong.

I would replace the prominent "GNU/Linux (64bit)" button with "GNU/Linux 
(DEB)" and have links to all the 64bit versions (RPM and DEB - perhaps 
sometimes a Windows 64 build) below the buttons area.

But this is just my personal idea. following the requests for DEB builds 
on different lists.

For the case, that this idea might be reasonable, I already included two 
buttons "GNU/Linux (RPM)" and "GNU/Linux (DEB)" in the zip-file.

Best regards

Yes, very much - but I don't know if we can manage this already for the 
3.3 release...
