Try creating a script for Debian and derivatives that will grab the
packages necessary for Wireshark development, using apt-get.

Maybe it should parse the "Build-Depends:" line in debian/control and get the 
list of packages to install from there, so that only one file in the source tree has a 
list of Debian dependencies.

(And perhaps use the Requires: lines from packaging/rpm/SPECS/wireshark.spec.in 
in scripts for RPM-based Linuxes?  It'd probably have to stick -dev after the 
package names.)

Not a bad idea; having to manually yum install the appropriate dependencies has annoyed me.

Manually adding -devel shouldn't really be necessary if/once we have the appropriate Requires: and BuildRequires: entries (the latter would contain all the appropriate -devel packages).

(The .spec file I use has both Requires and BuildRequires; if I can ever find the time to finish cleaning it up, I'll check it in.)
