Debian General Resolution 2026/002 — "LLM usage in Debian": ballot option comparison

Comparison of the ballot options for the General Resolution: LLM usage in Debian. Choice numbering, choice titles, and the ballot template follow the corrected ballot issued by the Debian Project Secretary (2026-08-15). Options are listed below by ballot choice number (1–9); the proposal letter (A–H) is shown secondarily for cross-referencing the vote page (Choice 9, "None of the above", has no letter). A plain-text/Markdown version is in comparison.md.

Auto-generated with AI assistance — may contain errors. This comparison was produced with the help of an LLM from the published proposal texts. It may contain errors or mischaracterizations. Before casting your ballot, please read and understand each proposal's full text, linked from the vote page.

How to use: drag a column header and drop it onto another to insert it at that position (drop on the left half of a target = before it, right half = after it; the row-label column is fixed). Your column order is saved in your browser. Drag columns into your preferred order to generate a ballot below.

Generate a ballot

The ballot text is generated directly from the column order above: the leftmost column's option is rank 1, the next is rank 2, and so on through rank 9. Drag the columns into your preferred order (or use the order buttons) and the text below updates automatically. Then sign and mail it to gr_llm@vote.debian.org — see the secretary's call for votes for full instructions.

Equal rankings are not supported. This generator assigns each choice a distinct rank 1–9 from the column order. To rank several options at the same rank (ties — which Debian/Devotee accepts, e.g. two choices both marked [1]), you must manually edit the generated text.
