Title:
  wget doesn't support compression, it needs zlib1g-dev

Status in wget package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in wget package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.)
