If I am not mistaken, since it is a conffile for netstd, other packages are forbidden from doing anything with it? I think the proper response is: get Maintainer: Anthony Towns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to include your service in /etc/services, then your package depends on a specific version of netstd.
[how did I do? :] As for an actual method, probably making a tmp file of what you would like to add to it, copying the existing one someplace, then catting the two of them back together to /etc/services.
