Package: wget
Version: 1.11.1-1
Severity: important

A few days ago I updated to the latest version of the package and it silently 
broke some data updating scripts.

wget is executed like this:
> wget -N -O foo.db.new http://source.tld/foo.db

And since the latest version it throws the next message:
> Cannot specify -r, -p or -N if -O is given.
> Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...
But it is only sent to stdout, which prevented me from noticing the failure 
via the cronjob emails.

It worked just fine in 1.11-1 and previous, and I see this new 'behaviour' 
broken. There should be no reason why -O and -N can't both be used at the 
same time.
I expect I'm not the only one using wget that way and it may break stuff 
around.

Please revert or fix, as adequate, soon.

Thanks in advance.
