Another alternative is to allow ssh connections as root (which may not
be the default, depending on which version of Debian you install),
and then:

ssh -X root@localhost

A third alternative, if your regular user has an ~/.Xauthority file,
is:

su
export XAUTHORITY=/home/youruser/.Xauthority

(The export may not even be necessary; it seems XAUTHORITY is
automatically exported from the X session under certain conditions that I
can't pinpoint.  Just don't use "su -" which would clear the environment.)
