No, but they are going to tell you what's acceptable if you want to contribute to their project, and kick you out if they find you broke the rules. Projects have always had their rules you had to follow if you wanted to participate.
I simply don't accept that this type of project rule has any validity. It's like telling me what editor I can use, or that I can't use Google to search for programming tips, or that I can only use an electric car to drive to the office.
Debian has, like all software projects, always had rules about how you created the code you contributed. No software project is going to accept your contributed code which you wrote at work using company time and resources; that’s a copyright violation. There has never been a situation in which simply your contributed code can be analyzed and accepted in a vacuum. Bits do have color: <https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23#:~:text=historical>
Well, you're wrong. Whether or not you are actually writing the code is well within their right to regulate. Using an LLM is no different than if you hired a guy to write code for you and contributed it under your name; they would probably explicitly ban that too if there were significant numbers of people doing it.

Were you going to contribute to Debian otherwise?
Then don’t contribute? It’s crazy how some of you feel offended that projects you’re not engaged with might decide to not use LLMs
