While I don't understand the specific details, I'm fairly certain the
"net.reactivated" portion stores the D-Bus interface name - usually the
reverse of the domain name for the project's own website.

For example, most of GNOME's D-Bus stuff is under the interface
"org.gnome", and there are also utilities (such as the Telepathy
messaging stack) hosted on FreeDesktop.org which use the interface
"org.freedesktop".

I imagine Fprint is using the "net.reactivated" interface name because
"reactivated.net" is the website of its primary author, Daniel Drake. 

Hope that helps a bit, and Happy New Year to all.
