I feel you are trying to pick at edge cases.  This is not a fruitful
thing to do.  Inevitably there will be edge cases, and they will be
handled by the relevant decisionmakers in Debian making judgement
calls.

Having said that. your first two examples are the kind of thing I am
trying to prohibit, and I think that I can be reasonably confident
that (if my option wins) the Community Team (say) would see it that
way.

I should say that I have not read any of the things you refer to.  I
am relying on your descriptions.  I regard LLM output as an infohazard
- a kind of pollution, that it is dangerous to interact with.
