There is an icon in wireshark-common:

$ ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/wire*
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/wireshark.svg
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/wireshark.svg
wireshark-common: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/wireshark.svg

Should not this be enough?

I am not sure but I think the icon has to be in the wireshark-qt and wireshark-gtk packages, not wireshark-common.

I would consider this as a bug (missing feature to get icon files from dependencies) in Gnome Software.

Reassigning the bug for comments from gnome-software maintainers.

This is supported - probably an issue in the generator because, once again, an outdated Contents file.
@Laney, could you take a look at it if/when you have the time?

It's totally unscalable for me to debug these issues one by one.

Someone else do it please.

Contents was an absolutely terrible design choice.
