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.
