It also turns out that I'd missed that the default for Linux was set to gramps-3.4.0-1.deb, which is what I think you were seeing.

It seems that we can either leave it as-is, with Debian user agents getting the .deb and all other Linux user agents getting the ancient ISO, set the defaults explicitly (in which case, what do we set for Linux?), or, instead of just pointing at the Sourceforge Files page and hoping for the best, we can have explicit links on the website (which is what Gnucash does).
