The Debian project is engaging in a debate and vote on whether large language model (LLM) tools may be used in the development of Debian, its distribution-specific code, and the project's website. The general resolution is currently being discussed leading into a vote on the subject.

The choices kinda look like they would both either explicitly or in effect disallow practically all LLMs. Nice.

From what I see so far, there is a loophole. LLMs may not be used to generate source packages but if Claude generates a script that then does the work and the script stays private and isn't official Debian software, it's fine.

This may be an oversight or deliberate. No idea.
