[Bug 833994] Re: debian-installer does not support https when using with preseed files

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

I don't think certificates are necessary here: we could permit any https
without any certificate checking, and still have an improvement, with no
additional dangers over using http. For example, you would remain
vulnerable to DNS spoofing or man-in-the-middle problems, but you would
not be subject to the exposure of secret information in packages. (There
are plenty of cases where a link is sniffable but not pwnable.)
