The "Privileges" section of doc/README.packaging suggests running dumpcap
setuid root and optionally restricting it to a specific user or group. Should
this be changed? 

In regard to the original bug report that section also says in all caps:

WIRESHARK CONTAINS OVER ONE POINT FIVE MILLION LINES OF SOURCE CODE. DO
NOT RUN THEM AS ROOT.
