Answering myself: yes.

I installed fc6 wireshark debuginfo. There is some files that include 
225 but none that mention 450. Whether this is a change in application 
structure, I dont know. If you are sure it should be there, perhaps it 
is a packaging bug - you might be able to work out what needs to change 
to get the correct debuginfo built.

You might also be able to extract and config the source archive itself 
for debug. {I am not much experienced in this area}
