I haven't realized that libvirt-wireshark requires wireshark; I was
under the impression that it just installs the compiled dissector
files. Similarly how for example logrotate rules should be installed
but should not require logrotate to be installed (and if you want it,
you can install it and it "Just Works").
That said, I don't know whether wireshark is needed for the
installation of libvirt-wireshark, but if it is not, I'd rather see
this in:
diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in
