Thanks for taking the trouble to deal with this!  The patch would work
as it is, but I've thought of another complication: I might be reading
this template when no package installation is occurring.  For a start,
I might give an answer, wait for wireshark to be installed, read the
README file, and then decide to run "dpkg-reconfigure wireshark" to
get the same prompt again and give a different answer...

So instead of saying "after the package installation is finished" you
might change it to something like:

  For more detailed information please see
- /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.
+ /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.gz once the package is
+ installed.
