It would be better than the current solution, but it will still inherit the problem we have with the package-maintenance-in-upstream concept. The list of package names may be valid on one dpkg-based distribution version and may be invalid on an other because they may have diverged in library names or versions.
(And perhaps use the Requires: lines from packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in in scripts for RPM-based Linuxes? It'd probably have to stick -dev after the package names.)
The naming of libraries are not consistent across rpm and dpgk based distributions thus it may cause extra problems. I'm not sure what we want to solve here. 'apt-get build-dep wireshark' worked for me perfectly so far and adding one or two extra libs in case they are missing should not be a huge challenge for anyone working on trunk, I think.
