Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark on Kali linux

I was thinking to something like maintaining a list of debian derivative that have just the root account (the version checked with lsb_release) and run something on them during the installation phase.

That was my first try. Something like error -> warning, but I didn't find anything useful. Are you aware of something?
