Details

This may be more a philosophical distinction than a bug: ie the admin should know what they're doing versus install&go. When openssh is installed no ListenAddress attribute is set in sshd_config so sshd won't bind to an address when started. ListenAddress should be set to 0.0.0.0 (maybe security issues) or something else.

Also everytime openssh is upgraded it replaces sshd_config and backs up the previous config. It would be better to "pacnew" the new config file.
This task depends upon

Okay, modifed the packaged sshd_config, ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

See the pacman manpage for an explanation of how and why pacman handles config files that way. If you want to change the behaviour, add sshd_config to your NoUpgrade list in pacman.conf.
