I know I have run into the message about busybox wget not supporting
https, though not during installation (for which I normally used an
http:// mirror), but by typing something like…

wget -O /dev/urandom https://example.org/random-bits.cgi

… and just assumed that this was deliberate. Glad to see it’s not.

This was with the netinst images, mostly, though much longer ago than
oldstable.
