wireshark does not install any headers (but installs the wireshark.so
library). Ubuntu manually installs the following headers with the
libwireshark-dev package (the rule to install those files is only in
debian/rules):

Hi,


Well, it was never intended to have libwireshark as a separate
library. Now it's somewhat strong armed into the limelight, and it
shows. 
The Debian packager (Balint) did a good job for Debian, but it
is/was not a goal in itself. 

Thanks,
Jaap
