I know this sort of mirrors recent conversation... but it there a reason 
these packet counts are kept using independent sets of functions 
instead of piggybacking on some of the dissector stuff ( other than the 
obvious which is that we don't want to do a full dissection if we 
don't have to and we acheive not doing a full dissection by not passing 
a proto tree and thus have not proto tree to query for this info ).
