This is currently in flux, see:

    https://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Package_categories

The Maemo Packaging Policy does not currently have a "user/network"
category; the closest being "user/communication" or "user/support".
Neither fulfill the purpose very well (hence the new rationalisation).

Personally, I'd stick with "user/support" for now and move it to a
better category when the new categories are decided upon.

HTH,

Andrew
