Ah, but you can't! You need root to be able to sudo apt-get install stuff.
rootsh and openssh-server are two alternative ways of getting root, and
making both of them not installable without root would create a nasty
chicken-and-egg problem.
(Playing with USB cables and flasher to enable and then disable R&D mode
is Too Much Hassle, as it requires cables, laptops, flasher, and two
reboots.)
