I agree, we should *not* have 'libvirt' depend on the wireshark
plugin. We should treat 'libvirt' as pulling in everything that
it would have done in the past before we split the RPMs. So by
that rationale new functionality is out of scope.
Then I'll revert the patch that I already pushed (sorry for not waiting
for this conversation to come to a conclusion).
