The only problem I can see with removing the beta directory concerns
debian users who used to refer to this place for automatic update with
apt-get. Apt will give an error for these users. A polite way of
handling this would be to give a "page has moved" http answer when
requesting any page placed under beta/debian/
IMHO, we should consider this for next beta/non-beta releases.
