I'm not sure if it's that easy. In Fedora, at least, network materials are grouped into the 'initscripts' package and items such as /etc/hosts and /etc/services are in the 'setup' package.
You almost would need a LSB category to give these a really broad header (where applicable). I'm not sure if that's a good idea though. Perhaps: etc_services, etc_hosts , etc_networks etc...? It's based on where they live but that seems to be more consistent than anything else.
