Re: [Wireshark-commits] master 97e1491: Sync .deb packaging from Debian

[Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws () gmail com>]

Historically it's been because "we" want people doing Wireshark 
development against the SVN trunk^W^Wgit master rather than against a 
release.

Though I think the argument that the -dev package allows 3rd party 
packages (like netexpect) that use Wireshark's headers/libraries is a 
good one.
