We might consider some way of disabling sandboxing (apart from editing
the source) if there is user demand, but I think developers/packagers
can figure out sandbox violations pretty easily from dmesg, etc.

No, only setuid to an unprivileged user needs that; the rest of privsep
including sandboxing is still active if sshd is run as a regular user.
