This maps to using the option ForwardX11Trusted=yes.

According to the Debian ssh manual page:

              (Debian-specific: X11 forwarding is not subjected to X11
              SECURITY extension restrictions by default, because too
              many programs currently crash in this mode.  Set the
              ForwardX11Trusted option to “no” to restore the upstream
              behaviour.  This may change in future depending on client-
              side improvements.)

So it appears that Debian added a customization for this case.
