[Bug 1135163] [NEW] d-i can't install against an https mirror

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

Public bug reported:

It happens that d-i uses the wget from busybox, and as a result, it
can't install against an https mirror. This is clearly not intended
behavior, because apt-config is able to deal with https. Perhaps there
should be a wget udeb that includes the right bits to have ssl support,
or alternatively, busybox should support it.

** Affects: busybox (Ubuntu)
