Motivation for this change

Before:

$ nix path-info -Sh /nix/store/arcw7029w14lrv9l8mpqib3sncza3nah-wireshark-qt-3.2.4
/nix/store/arcw7029w14lrv9l8mpqib3sncza3nah-wireshark-qt-3.2.4	   1.1G

After:

$ nix path-info -Sh /nix/store/c86nls44m73rcz5lq3jf4l2hr5sj9l10-wireshark-qt-3.2.4
/nix/store/c86nls44m73rcz5lq3jf4l2hr5sj9l10-wireshark-qt-3.2.4	 463.1M

Note that qt5's mkDerivation does the same thing automatically. However, wireshark is built as both a Qt and a non-Qt package in nixpkgs right now (wireshark-cli) and I couldn't find an easy way to refactor and use libsForQt5.callPackage. So instead I just cherry-picked the QT_NO_DEBUG part.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
