Details

Some users harden openssh[1]. Part of that is removing the small Diffie-Hellman entries from /etc/ssh/moduli. This is overwritten on package updates. Please add /etc/ssh/moduli to the backup array so users will be prompted to pacdiff on updates.

This has been knocked back at least *5 times* in the past  FS#45072   FS#45515   FS#46952   FS#47152   FS#58273 . 6th time lucky eh?

The original maintainer has now left the project, but I can understand the resistance after reading the rationale in those tickets. FWIW Fedora seem to mark it as "%config(noreplace)".

Rather than me auto-close this as another dupe, let's give current PM's an opportunity to comment.
