ssh-import-id requires wget and ca-certificates to function properly

[Clint Byrum]

ssh-import-id runs 'wget', and is not useful at all without it, so openssh-server should Depend: wget

Also, the wget will then fail because there is no way to verify launchpad's server cert, unless you install ca-certificates, so it should also require ca-certificates.

I don't want to do that. Instead, it should give a useful error message if wget does not exist. At most, it should be Recommends, but I'd tend towards merely Suggests.

ssh-import-id is not an essential part of the openssh-server package - most of the users of that package will never use it - and so Depends would be inappropriate.

I'm working on splitting ssh-import-id out.

Moving this over to ssh-import-id.

This is actually fixed now, in ssh-import-id v2.1.
