[PD] Please keep deken package online

It's not about beta 27, it's about *any* "else"-release. Some projects 
might depend on beta 24, some might need beta 13. Just don't delete old 
releases, that's all people are asking. (I'm not talking about replacing 
a broken upload, that is totally ok, of course)

How you package "else" and your tutorial is not related to the issue at 
hand (which is: "Please keep deken package online").
