Hmmm... quite possibly because 4.4.0.1 is in release configuration? I
don't get the same warning for 4.3.5 release or for 4.4.0.0.beta2, so
perhaps we just need to make a tweak to the updater:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Updater

I also see the following:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=deb-x86_64&version=4.4.0&lang=en-US
has links for 4.4.0 RC1, but text says Beta2
http://it.libreoffice.org/download/pre-release/ has links for 4.4.0
RC1, but text mentions 3.6.0 RC4 (!)
(my guess is that the latter one might be hard-coded into the page)

Best,
--R
