Here are the relevant commit logs:
commit 4313bc9bfeb61628d42354dd2a14e6f57158dcf2
Author: Balint Reczey <balint@balintreczey.hu>
Date:   Thu Apr 24 23:42:49 2025 +0200

    debian/control.in: Make libwireshark-dev depend on libglib2.0-dev
    
    instead of on libgio-2.0-dev. This helps backporting and wireshark
    itself build-depends on libglib2.0-dev already.
    
    Also remove wireshark-dev's direct dependency on libglib2.0-dev because
    it transitively depends on it through libwireshark-dev.
