Package: wireshark-common
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal

When having merged captures from two machines the "remove duplicates" option in
editcap doesn't work, because the identical packets have a different header
field "packet type" with values "Sent by us" (4) vs. "unicast to us" (0), and
so the MD5 is different and both are kept.

Furthermore, in case there's a router inbetween, the MAC addresses would be
different, too; so it might make sense to define some point from which the MD5
gets derived.

Per default the MD5 should be derived from the Link-Layer, but optionally only
the IP, TCP, or perhaps even more restricted data areas might be chosen. (So
perhaps this could be an "expression" what fields to use in the MD5, eg.
"http.host,http.request.uri" to keep only all different URLs being used)
