dummy upgrade package for ethereal -> wireshark

Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer, or "sniffer", for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. A sniffer is a tool used to capture packets off the wire. Wireshark decodes numerous protocols (too many to list).

It was previously named ethereal. This is a transitional package so ethereal users get wireshark on upgrades. This package handles ethereal -> wireshark. It can be safely removed.
