Is this really a good idea?

We have a lot of files with the actual dissectors (prefix packet-) and 
some other helper files at the same level without it.

If you remove the prefixes, you cannot distinguish between real 
dissectors and helper files.

But I don't know if this difference is essential, both approaches would 
be ok for me.
