sorry for the super-late reply, but in reality that's not the case for
two reasons:
* debconf.org website is not well ranked. The PR(*) of debconf.org is
lower than many of our bronze sponsors (!)
* many of our sponsors go for the heart and souls of our attendees.
The t-shirts is were they want to be. I heard that from a number of
sponsors AND I upsell a few to the t-shirt level.
Of course, things might be different moving into Europe from US.
P.
* PR == Google Page Rank
