It depends on libidn2 which is needed by wget anyways (and which is even pulled in by libc6). Is there any reason why this report is still open ?

Bug#875370: dependency on PSL pulls in ICU, which dwarfs wget in size
Package: wget Severity: minor Hi, Resolving #766780 seems to have pulled in a pair of disproportionally large libraries: [...] The following NEW packages will be installed: libicu52 libpsl0 The following packages will be upgraded: wget [...] After this operation, 28,4 MB of additional disk space will be used. Can this new dependency be made more optional, please? There's oh so many situations where wget is used to download something where cookies are not used at all, and having this amount of cruft lying around on the off chance you enable cookies and then talk to a malicious server makes very littlek sense.
