This means that, effectively, the “without Debian” logo will
/still/ be available under the old license just as well.

My only concern is that there'll be /both/ Web sites claiming
that the “without Debian” logo is under the Expat license
(consider, e. g., blog posts and the like) and the official page
claiming that it's under LGPL/CC-BY-SA, leading to some
confusion.
Therefore, my suggestion would be to specify LGPL/CC-BY-SA for
both of the logos on the logo page, but add a footnote saying
that the “without Debian” logo could also be used under the
terms of the (less restrictive) Expat license.
