Project Secretary Kurt Roeckx announced the General Resolution with voting open August 15 through August 28. Options include "Ban LLM contributions from Debian via Social Contract," "Allow AI-Assisted Contributions with conditions," "Reject LLMs as far as practical" with a Code of Conduct update, "Accept AI contributions for Debian specific work," "Responsible Use of Generative AI," "A cautious approach to generative AI," "Debian is created by humans," "Avoid the use of LLM: climate destruction is a deal breaker," and none of the above. Debian Whatever wins becomes the first binding LLM policy at a distribution sitting upstream of most of the Linux server world. If Debian bans it, every downstream contributor workflow has to answer for provenance.
