No there is no package providing those files.
why ?
if arch would provide you with defaults every time the defaults get updated you would get *.pacnew files in your etc. since those files are depending on your system and are user choice it would not be good to provide those.
What upgrade are you talking about? OP is talking about configuration files not willing to be upgraded for years (if not for their whole life time).
I tend to think it's a mistake.

If the files are provided in linked packages to their functionality, there'd be a new .pacnew everytime the linked package was updated. If the files are grouped together in a 'default-confs' package, if for any reason upstream changes any one of them, all the rest would generate a .pacnew
