not sure why, but all the .h files installed by previous versions of wireshark are not installed with 1.12.x. Sorry for lack of investigation, I'm onsite working right now so I'm logging it for someone else or for myself later.
# install headers local wsheader for wsheader in $( echo $(< debian/wireshark-dev.header-files ) ); do insinto /usr/include/wireshark/$( dirname ${wsheader} ) doins ${wsheader} done looks like debian/wireshark-dev.header-files has been removed in this version so we don't know what to install.
It installs /usr/include/wiretap/wtap.h ?!!! I guess this is a good thing, since upstream might not want people to develop against unstable APIs. But maybe there is a useful switch in configure.
Or maybe they're switching to cmake for real this time. Oh joy.
There is a dumpabi target that might be useful.
Stable version: zero@ozzie ~ % qlist wireshark | grep -c "/usr/include/" 606 compared to the 1 header installed by 1.12.x Honestly I'm fine with just recursively installing all the header files (since that pretty much looks like what debian was doing anyway. Would this be acceptable, Jer?

It is a lot less than Debian apparently liked to have. A good starting point would be to look at packages that build against wireshark's libraries and see what headers those use.

*wireshark-1.12.0_rc2-r1 (28 Jun 2014) 28 Jun 2014; Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> -wireshark-1.12.0_rc2.ebuild, +wireshark-1.12.0_rc2-r1.ebuild: Install headers as previously read from debian/wireshark-dev.header-files (bug #515116).
The headers needed for libbtbb are not being installed. This is the same error I had that caused me to open this bug in the first place. Please bother to comment on the bug next time you close it.
Stop jumping to silly conclusions. This bug is fixed because wireshark-1.12 should now install all or most headers that 1.10 does. You haven't even established yet that bug #516178 has anything to do with this one, so this bug stays fixed. If it turns out that bug #516178 is caused by yet another missing wireshark header, then we can fix /that/ problem /there/.
