Would that install "tools needed to build the package that "apt-get install wireshark" would install" or would it install "tools needed to do full-blown development of the version of Wireshark on the trunk, even if the version on the trunk incorporates a whole bunch of new functionality needing new libraries"?
The latter is what I'm aiming for here (especially given that Debian-and-its-derivatives are often proudly trailing-edge in the versions of software that they offer, e.g. I think they might still offer Wireshark 1.6 by default).
