Add an explicit dependency to glib.
This is a bug in wireshark packages in debian that they should fix there. see debian bug #832926
But IMHO this is half of the truth.
Libvirt shouldn't be hardcoding knowledge about what other libs wireshark may happen to depend on. I disagree here. libvirt explicit includes "glib.h" here. Therfore it has a direct dependency to glib and this dependency should be checked. Implicit dependencies tend to be a can of worms.
