I'd like to upload the latest version of wireshark to unstable. Updating from 1.6.8 to 1.8.0 brings a new ABI with a new soname for all the libs. Having Wireshark 1.8.x in Wheezy is important because upstream's support for 1.6.x ends on June 7, 2013 [1] and Wireshark needs regular security updates.
Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately, we think that this update came a tad late because we are >that< near to freeze and the update seems quite large. About the security concerns, as far as I can see, updating wireshark to 1.8 in Wheezy would not buy us more than a year. AFAIK, the security team didn't raise any concerns about this package in the past. Are there any other concerns with the 1.6.8 release besides the security aspect?
