This wording leaves HUGE possibilities of interpretation and will 
therefore cause a lot of flamewars.

Claude is not a DD, it therefore cannot contribute directly to Debian. 
When I say "Claude, create a Debian package doing foo and set myself as 
a Maintainer", is that a direct contribution?

Does the direct contribtion become indirect when I fix the Lintian 
errors that Claude causes myself? Does it stay a direct contribution 
when I just prompt Claude to fix the Lintian errors? Does that become 
indirect again when I review the diff?
