Dear Brian,

here are a few things you can suggest the LLM in order to homogenise the
outcome of each run.

  - Standardise the `debian/control` files with the `cme fix dpkg-control`
    command.  https://manpages.debian.org/cme

  - Run `lintian-brush` before trying to fix issues.
    https://manpages.debian.org/lintian-brush

  - Check the output of `lrc` in order to assess the debian/copyright
    file.  https://manpages.debian.org/lrc

This is what we do in the `routine-update` tool.
https://manpages.debian.org/routine-update

Lastly, some assistants are not bad with Git…  For debian/changelog,
maybe you can try to instruct the agent to commit often, using messages
that become good changelog entries, and use `gbp dch` at the end.
https://manpages.debian.org/gbp-dch

Have a nice day,

Charles
