The Debian project has wrestled with the topic of LLM usage for years, which culminated in a general-resolution vote this August. The project voted in favor of the fifth, out of eight, option: " Responsible Use of Generative AI ". With the door open to LLM use, the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team (usually shortened to "DFSG team"), which is relatively new , has started to employ LLMs in sending out reviews of packages entering Debian's new queue . The practice has raised a number of objections and questions about where lines should be drawn in the use of LLM-generated output.
