find_package(Wireshark)

Yes, the cmake/FindWireshark.cmake file (which is executed with the
find_package) locates the libwireshark.so library and the wireshark
headers (e.g. /usr/include/wireshark).

BTW, I just realized that by default 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):
   color.h
   config.h
   register.h
   epan/*.h
   epan/crypt/*.h
   epan/dfilter/*.h
   epan/dissectors/*.h
   epan/ftypes/*.h

Is there a particular reason that's speaking against installing those
header files (which would make plugin development much easier, since you
don't need to modify the wireshark source tree -- or even have it
available)?

Cheers,
Reinhold
