They weren't omitted on purpose.  They were probably omitted because they were added by a UN*X user; by default, UN*X

Create an account on the Wireshark Bugzilla:

dissectors, dfilter and wslua are "libraries" only during the build process; the routines in those libraries should end 
up in libwireshark.
