In that case, the patch is in the debian source package (for example, in debian/patches/...). Suppose a Debian developer uses an LLM to fix a high-criticality bug, and sends the fix upstream, but in the meantime it's in the Debian sources. Or suppose a Debian developer uses an LLM to fix bug which is causing the Debian web site to be dead. Does this GR disallow all of these scenarios? - Ted
