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

[Colin Watson]

OK, it turns out I can handle this quite easily by installing ca-
certificates, copying into /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/, and
running update-ca-certificates from base-installer; so I'll drop the
curl task as unnecessary.

** No longer affects: curl (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  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.
