[$] Debian weighs eight options in vote on LLM usage

LWN.net reports that the Debian Project is voting on eight proposals about using large language models in project contributions. The first proposal, from Matthias Geiger, would explicitly ban any contributions created with LLM assistance. The options range from a complete ban to explicit approval, plus the standard "none of the above" choice, which would leave Debian without an agreed policy. The vote's outcome will determine whether the project adopts a formal stance on AI-assisted work.
