Bug#996979: libsrtp2-dev: libpcap-dev really required?

Package: libsrtp2-dev
Version: 2.4.2-1

The -dev package has a dependency on libpcap, even on libpcap-dev. Once [1] you had a -utils package, and libpcap was required for its tool rtp_decoder. As I cannot find the -utils package anymore, is that dependency still required? When I build libsrtp2 manually via

./configure --enable-nss
make shared_library

and link against the resulting .so, I never required libpcap-dev. Therefore, I am curios.
