Bug Description

wget can use zlib1g for a few features, notably --compression support. The Debian package doesn't explicitly build-depend on zlib1g-dev, it gets it via libgnutls28-dev; since the Ubuntu package drops the latter, compression support is lost too.

Please consider adding zlib1g-dev. (I've also asked the Debian maintainer to do so, see the linked bug; however the libgnutls28-dev removal in Ubuntu should take this into account IMO.)
