The consideration should be exactly the same as for normal seccomp.
If I'm in a container (using PID namespaces + seccomp) and a run a web
browser, I can debug the browser.

If there's a real use case for adding this type of automatic ptrace
protection, then by all means, let's add it as a general seccomp
feature.
