Hi,
Debian official packages are required to build without downloading external
files during their build. (Builddd is in isolated network environment only with
access to the Debian package repository.

So if it requires wget file access, it is ftbfs. Don't make build script to do
this. ... (continue to the bottom).

If I were you, I will build package "without this mod in an environment with
wget included as Build-dep" and "with this mod only without wget in chroot".
Then I will check resulting binary packages.
If these generated packages contain different model data, then you need to
modify code to use pre-existing data and download such model data in advance to
be included in debian/ directory. Of course, you need to check license terms of
such model data and document it.
If these contain same model data, your proposed fix should be OK.
