[Bug 1788608] [NEW] wget doesn't support compression, it needs zlib1g-dev

[Stephen Kitt]

Public bug reported:

wget can use zlib1g for a few features, notably --compression support.
The Debian package doesn't explicitly build-depend on zlib1g-dev, it
gets it via libgnutls28-dev; since the Ubuntu package drops the latter,
compression support is lost too.

Please consider adding zlib1g-dev. (I've also asked the Debian
maintainer to do so, see the linked bug; however the libgnutls28-dev
removal in Ubuntu should take this into account IMO.)
