Hi,
$ apt-cache show wireshark-common | sed -n '/^Depends: / s|, |,\n |gp'
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15),
libcap2 (>= 1:2.10),
libgcrypt20 (>= 1.7.0),
libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.18),
libnl-3-200 (>= 3.2.7),
libnl-genl-3-200 (>= 3.2.7),
libpcap0.8 (>= 1.5.1),
libwireshark6 (>= 2.0.3+geed34f0-1),
libwiretap5 (>= 2.0.3+geed34f0-1),
libwsutil6 (>= 1.99.2),
zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4),
debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0,
debconf,
libcap2-bin
I think that the extra "debconf" in debian/control is causing the last one,
while the first ones are generated automatically by ${misc:Depends} or similar.
debconf is "Prio: required" so probably it's unneeded in any case, but besides
that the dependency prevents to switch to "cdebconf", which in principle should
be a valid substitute.
So I think that, either way, the explicit dependency can and probably should be
removed from the wireshark-common package definition in debian/control.
Cheers.
