One follow-up patch is needed here to make openssl pick up the certs.
/usr/lib/ssl/certs is the default search path compiled into openssl. On
a plain Debian system a symlink from /usr/lib/ssl/certs to
/etc/ssl/certs is shipped in the "openssl" binary package, but in the
installer environment we don't have that and shipping it in libssl's
udeb would be inconvenient.

With this addition to ca-certificates-udeb and with it and wget-udeb
included into the installer image, fetches via HTTPS work for me.
