Note that this isn't a Wireshark project issue as such, it's an issue for those creating the packages, in this case the Ubuntu MOTU Developers as seen on the package page for wireshark-common.

Whether it's advised is up to your unique situation. Since there is no universal 'right answer' this prompt is made.

It is suggested it can be done, see this Server Fault question.

You probably can find more information in Debian packaging related fora.
