[Feature Request]: RFC: Refactor framework to curl

[EvilOlaf]

Which feature would you like to have?

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

Since curl is very actively developed and maintained my idea was to reduce the mix between wget and curl across the framework and its official extensions and - if possible - migrate everything to curl, eliminating the dependency to wget.

Should we keep this open? We solve it, but then put it back :)

Perhaps at some point debootstrap will be phased out and therefore its dependency to wget. Everything beyond seems extensions that need adjustment. I'd say leave it open for the record.
