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.
