This is a duplicate of #712540 [1], solved (in the current
development version of Debian, – BKA Jessie, or “testing”) back
last November. See [2, 3].

The ‘curl’ package Recommends: ca-certificates via its
‘libcurl3’ dependency. As there’s no similar underlying library
for Wget, Recommends: ca-certificates was added to the ‘wget’
package directly.
(The default APT configuration is to install recommended
packages, unless the user explicitly chooses not to.)
