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

[Philipp Kern]

The kernel situation with proposed gave me some grief. Hence my testing
last week did not work out. I did a clean installation via an nginx
reverse proxy and a custom CA (which is *not* the setup at Google, but I
had to fudge something for verification instead of testing against our
own archive) and it worked right until after debootstrap. The cert was
not copied in the chroot. On the other hand, in the real setup ca-
certificates as found in Ubuntu is enough to verify certs. I'm not sure
if trusty fails the same way, but it might. So this can be marked
verified from our side but there's a caveat for other users. (But this
is clearly not a regression over precise as it is now.)

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.

  This is a prerequisite for bug 833994, which is a customer requirement
  for Ubuntu 12.04.5.
