There are other cases of that:

	{hostname}$ egrep extern packet-*.h | egrep -v '\(' | more
	packet-chdlc.h:extern const value_string chdlc_vals[];
	packet-frame.h:extern int proto_malformed;
	packet-ip.h:extern dissector_table_t ip_dissector_table;
	packet-ncp-int.h:extern int proto_ncp;
	packet-rpc.h:extern const value_string rpc_auth_flavor[];
	packet-tcp.h:extern guint16   tcp_urgent_pointer;
	packet-wap.h:extern const value_string vals_character_sets[];
	packet-wccp.h:extern const value_string service_id_vals[];
