Note that there are no conventional names for packages that supply
these services. In Debian, which happens to be my "Linux-Distribution",
there exists packages with the name "dhcp" and "tftp", but there are
alternative packages which supply the same functions.

More important, the packages that supply NFS-server is called
"nfs-kernel-server" and "nfs-user-server" respectively, not "nfsutils"
and "nfsserver".

Your suggestion would make the documention more distribution specific.

So, skip the package names and just mention the services that they need
to supply.
