Details
Currently /etc/ssh/moduli is overridden on upgrades because
it doesn't appear in openssh PKGBUILD backup=() array
[1].
However users may wish to use locally generated moduli for security reasons, as explained in [2][3]. It is even an officially recommended countermeasure against the LOGJAM attack ([4], bottom of the page). Automatic override defeats this countermeasure and may go unnoticed for a long time (a couple of months in my case). Adding 'etc/ssh/moduli' to openssh PKGBUILD backup=() array will make sure local modifications are preserved during upgrades, and users prompted when changes occur.
