    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.
