That's your take, and that's OK.

*My* take is that Debian should be as universal an OS as possible; and 
*for me* this means that the lower the friction and mental effort 
required for packaging and maintaining $interesting_free_software, the 
better.

Again, *for me*, this means that there is much more joy in me telling my 
semi-local GLM instance to please package X (and all the random stuff it 
depends on) than doing the work myself, as that enables me to focus on 
more interesting problems than a skipped file in d/copyright, or yet 
another missing comma in d/control.

(The fact that my typing accuracy is not what it used to be doesn't help 
either.)

Yes, LLMS have problems. Glaringly obvious ones, some of them. But they 
can also enable people in a way that nothing else does. I for one am 
*not* willing to completely disregard the latter, or to force my opinion 
that the problems do (and always will) outweigh the benefits onto every 
single member of Debian.
