I have uploaded and tested the versions built for 14.04 and 12.04. For
now I don't plan providing a version for 10.04, because it is not
supported on desktop, but if there is a need for it it can be added
easily.

The scripts I used for packaging are available at
https://github.com/rbalint/pkg-wireshark-ubuntu-ppa .

I think we could make a formal announcement about it in a few days.
Gerald, would you like to announce the availability of the packages?

Cheers,
Balint
