If AI contributed work gets forbidden, and the security report
(perhaps with exploit code, so it's a real 0-day, not something
hypothetical) was generated using AI, then we might not be able to
consume it inside Debian. If upstream uses an AI-generated patch
which blocks the 0-day, and we can't incorporate that AI-generated
work in debian/patches, that would be.... considerably worse.
