OK, that’s fine. I don’t know how often NVIDIA does developer builds
separated from beta ones and if they can be multiple different developer
build at a given time, but maybe it would make more sense to just call
those packages -developer (rather than developer-vulkan-beta) and track
those -developer builds if they are one living branch.

Anyway, I’m deleting the 6 wrong ones since they are even less correctly
named. ;)

Regards,
Bruno
