OK, what was above is quite confusing. Also, the moves happened
partway through DebCamp, further reducing the costs, correct?

I just want to make sure numbers added up, since it is best to not
take money matters on faith.

No, I am not asking for that, I am just trying to check all details
given the lack of accountability DIVA has shown thus far. I wanted to
avoid DIVA saying "pay 1500€ to save yourself 2000€" when 3000€ is
actually 1000€, for example.
To make it clear: you should still assume that DebConf will pay the
Google speakers' travel costs.
