Here is the log from /var/lib/dpkg/info/susv3.postinst:

NOTE, The "Saving to:" and the "bunzip2" do not address the same path.
This is because susv3.postinst assumes the default for wget (and ~root/.wgetrc) are what we want

 MPDIR=$(mktemp -td) || exit 1

echo Fetching file...
wget -P $TMPDIR http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/download/susv3.tar$
echo Untaring...
bunzip2 -cd $TMPDIR/susv3.tar.bz2 | tar xf - -C /usr/share/doc/susv3 --no-same-p$

rm -rf $TMPDIR

----------------------------------------------
I was able to get a good install by adding "--config=/dev/null " to the wget command line. This has the advantage (IMNSHO)
of not making any assumptions (except that wget must be installed).
