libwireshark-data: network packet dissection library -- data files

 The libwireshark library provides the network packet dissection services
 developed by the Wireshark project.
 .
 This package contains the platform independent files.

libwireshark-dev: network packet dissection library -- development files

 The "libwireshark" library provides the network packet dissection services
 developed by the Wireshark project.
 .
 This package contains the static library and the C header files that are
 needed for applications to use libwireshark services.

 The libwireshark library provides the network packet dissection services
 developed by the Wireshark project.

libwiretap-dev: network packet capture library -- development files

 Wiretap, part of the Wireshark project, is a library that allows one to
 read and write several packet capture file formats.
 .
 Supported formats are:
  * Libpcap
  * Sniffer
  * LANalyzer
  * Network Monitor
  * "snoop"
  * "iptrace"
  * Sniffer Basic (NetXRay)/Windows Sniffer Pro
