I thought Arch was the only rolling distro that doesn't have the backdoor. Its sshd is not linked with liblzma, and even if it were, they compile xz directly from git so they wouldn't have gotten the backdoor anyway.

TBF they only switched to building from git after they were notified of the backdoor yesterday. Prior to that, the source tarball was used.
