Let's take a step back. Please assume that Ubuntu does not want to make
any change right now because no change is currently considered
justified.
An open question here is if Ubuntu's patches on upstream are creating
any problem that you're reporting. That's why I'm

1) If Ubuntu wants to move the privilege separation directory from
/var/empty to /run/sshd, then there needs to be a command-line option
for the sshd to adjust the location of the privilege separation
directory.
2) If Ubuntu keeps the privilege separation direct

Good question. I have cloned the git version of OpenSSH for disco-

1) We need the /run/sshd file (see Ubuntu's man sshd page) to be configurable.

Please do attach the diff for reference - that is useful for the record.
I think it will still be unlikely though. Introducing new configuration
