Keep in mind I am just a user but I'm not one to skip a good technical discussion.

I'm ignoring your other points on purpose, there is only so much I can handle in one sitting.

Having separate packages follows Debian packaging best practices and

I lookup up what netexpect is. Your link is from 2011. Actual link (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/netexpect) says "This package is not part of any Debian distribution." OK... Starting strong there.

You keep coming back to the libvirt plugin. What do you expect to prove with this? You really think maintaining separate Debian packages is a benefit to a Wireshark plugin? I'm sorry, I don't know how to respond to non-sensical statements. Do you want me to build the libvirt-wireshark plugin against our RPM package just to put this argument to rest once and for all?


As I interpret our Code of Conduct collaboration with other projects
is highly encouraged no matter if Wireshark builds on them or they
build on Wireshark. I acted according to that in maintaining the
Debian packaging both here and in the official Debian repository.


Straw man argument. No one said collaboration is bad.
