it would be totally worth to do so; this year as an experiment with
budget for 1 intern, in the future maybe more (but that would be up
to
the next DPL to decide). I've no magic ball but I do feel that
general
project feeling on this is that it is an acceptable usage of money
I'm slightly surprised you think the project feels that way --
consensus in the recent debian-vote discussions seemed to be rather
against using Debian money to pay interns.

On using Debian's money:
My line, which is quite consensual I think, is that Debian money can
be
used to support Debian development (hardware infrastructure, travel
reimbursement, ...) but not to pay contributors.
If we were to run our own internship program, I would be hard to
convince to use Debian money for stipends. A separate fundraising
campaign specifically for stipends would be better IMHO.
And I would probably disagree quite strongly if the program allowed
DDs
to receive stipends.
