I agree here -- the other use people made of deeper links was
tracking, and I don't think there's much reason to charge them more
just for being too lazy to scan their referrer logs.

Holger wants to give a special name outside the normal series, AIUI.
I can see the reasoning, but I'm not sure that "DebConf12 Conference
Enabling Sponsor" will appeal to people more than "Platinum Sponsor".

Indeed. How about we leave it as an internally-documented option, but
we don't push it in the sponsor pack? Holger seems mostly concerned
that it confuses people / that it takes a lot of words to explain what
we mean.
