I understand the functionality of lineinfile a bit better now and solved
this with...
- name: uncomment a line
lineinfile: backup=yes state=present dest=/etc/ssh/sshd_config
regexp='^#?Banner' line='Banner /etc/issue.net'
Also, it appears I can utilize the original regexp with a backrefs=yes to
achieve the desired result as well.
Either way I am moving towards using a template.
