I don't agree.  I want to be able to enter DEBUG remotely, both on my own
systems and on remote systems.  It makes it easier to see what's being done
to an address, and I can then tune my local sendmail.cf to squeak by.  This
is lots of fun with HPLABS, who likes to royally rotate everything before
and after they look at it.

The best thing to do is to look for the "tTd(0,1)"'s in the code and remove
the ones you don't like, especially the one that allows mailing to pipes.
(Hint: there are other rude things allowed with DEBUG turned on, and there
are other ways to turn it on besides the SMTP DEBUG command).
