Thank you for your quick reply. :)  I was wondering whether you
could quickly speak to the organisers of previous DebConfs and ask
them to comment briefly on these numbers given the current
dates / stage [0] of registration?

For example, they might be able to say that they get a /lot/ of
registrations at the last moment which would make us less certain
about our current numbers. Again, that's just an example of what
could be said, it's just that this is not the first Debian event,
after all...
