I know what the sshd options mean, and no, it's really not a good idea in the slightest. Trying to debug sshd by starting it as a user is all kinds of wrong. All the file permissions will be wrong, so even if things are perfectly setup correctly, this will fail. If you modify the permissions to make this "debugging" work then the service will then fail to start, and as I already said normal users lack the required privileges to switch user context so this "debugging" will do nothing but prove you can break things. It's a thoroughly bad idea unless you are running a SYSTEM-owned shell.
