I've never understood why they're all prefixed with packet- anyways, the fact that they're in epan/dissectors should be enough?
Because they were originally in the top-level directory (!, at least until you consider how few dissectors Wireshark^WEthereal originally had). They were "stuck" there until the CVS->SVN migration which allowed the files to be moved while keeping their history.
I have occasionally wondered whether we should strip off the "packet-" part, but I think I've just gotten used to it. It does sorta make it obvious from just the file name (excluding the path information) that it's a dissector (except for "packet-range.*" in the top-level directory, hmmm).
