Again, I'm suspecting that this debugger works by performing a
sandboxing and attaching your session back. In order to communicate
back and forth, you probably need such privileges.
You should ask the developers why they need such privileges, or dig
the code by yourself.

Some mail list you would suggest, Luka?

uh oh, it mentions a listener...then there must be some "sender"
somehwere, that probably needs privileges.

Surprisingly this passes OK under non-privileged user.
