It can't.

When you use Jumpstart Flash you install the system from packages
as normal.  Then run sys-unconfig and create flash archives (basically
cpio bundles with extra info).

For a package to be Jumpstart Flash "safe" it shouldn't do anything to
the system that isn't generic to all installs.  In the case of sshd
the keys identify a particular system so you really don't want them
in your flash archives.
