Debian Trixie ships wcurl instead of wget by default which is a wrapper for curl. wget is no longer a default package upstream.

Bug: debootstrap is depending on wget and therefore is broken on default trixie environments.

Solution: replace hardcoded wget with curl commands

Have a nice day!

debootstrap uses wget *and* depends on it, so I'm not sure what the
problem would be?

    (trixie-amd64-devel)kibi@tokyo:~$ apt-cache show debootstrap|grep ^Depends:
    Depends: wget, distro-info
