Oh, I don't think I've ever thought much about possible upgrades
there… Ouch.
We've been using GNU wget for close to 10 years, and I suppose there's
absolutely no point in keeping the stripped-down wget in busybox-udeb.
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/2f00c51a7ead982ae1cd71bee06c8416890196b6
Unless someone disagrees within the next few days, I'll probably adjust
the config in git, something along those lines I suppose (totally
untested):
diff --git a/debian/config/pkg/udeb b/debian/config/pkg/udeb
index 230dadc1d..9cfdb6e3c 100644
--- a/debian/config/pkg/udeb

I'm not immediately seeing anything else that would “depends on WGET”
but I'm really not familiar with busybox.
Cheers,
