ethereal-dev headers non-functional

[Gustavo Carneiro]

I have a configure.in test that used to work in breezy but now (ethereal 0.10.13-1.1ubuntu1) doesn't:

configure:19466: checking for epan/packet.h

Please add:
  epan/gnuc_format_check.h
and
  epan/ipv6-utils.h
to debian/ethereal-dev.header-files

I did so, rebuilt the package, and now my plugin compiles :-)

Please don't let dapper be released without this fixed... :-/
