Whichever.  I have no problem with the admin running it, even the
following in /etc/init.d/openssh (or whatever it's called) seems fine
to me:

  <look-for-privsep-user> || <call-openssh-setup-script>

or even:

  <look-for-flag-file> || <call-openssh-setup-script>

The benefit of the admin running it manually is that s/he can choose
privsep or whatever at that time (e.g., via command-line options or
envariables).  A well-written script would be able to run in both
contexts....

For what it's worth....
