This is a bug in wireshark packages in debian that they should fix there.
Libvirt shouldn't be hardcoding knowledge about what other libs wireshark
may happen to depend on.

Specifically the wireshark.pc file needs fixing to have the glib dep.

For reference, there's the corresponding fedora bug dealing with this
same problem:
