How was this done in the past? I think we had the very same promise for
platinum sponsors also in previous years. If this included the
announcment mails, then I'd include it also for this year. Otherwise I'd
not change it.

I'd leave out the descriptions altogehter. Especially the Google
description sounds a bit weird and we don't know if they would be happy
with it. What about:
"DebConf13 thanks it's two platinum sponsors: Google
(http://www.google.com/) and the Matanel Foundation
(http://www.matanel.org).
