Yes, the cmake/FindWireshark.cmake file (which is executed with the find_package) locates the libwireshark.so library and the wireshark headers (e.g. /usr/include/wireshark).
BTW, I just realized that by default wireshark does not install any headers (but installs the wireshark.so library). Ubuntu manually installs the following headers with the libwireshark-dev package (the rule to install those files is only in debian/rules):
color.h
config.h
register.h
epan/*.h
epan/crypt/*.h
epan/dfilter/*.h
epan/dissectors/*.h
epan/ftypes/*.h
Is there a particular reason that's speaking against installing those header files (which would make plugin development much easier, since you don't need to modify the wireshark source tree -- or even have it available)?

Hi,
Well, it was never intended to have libwireshark as a separate library. Now it's somewhat strong armed into the limelight, and it shows.
The Debian packager (Balint) did a good job for Debian, but it is/was not a goal in itself.
Thanks,
Jaap
