The last line of tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh is:

echo "This tool has been obsoleted by tools/rpm-setup.sh"

So would it be better to use tools/rpm-setup.sh instead?

Whichever one is recommend, maybe it would be a good idea to mention it in the 
Wireshark developer’s guide, such as in Section 3.11.2[1], for example?

I've looked through the wireshark developer's guide, and google'd all
around, but cannot find a list of required packages for building
wireshark.  If there is one, let me know.

I generally just run `tools/install_rpms_for_devel.sh` to install all the 
necessary dependencies.
You could also take a look in 
`packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in<http://wireshark.spec.in>` or the 
various README files but the above script is there to simplify your life...
