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.
