It is confusing that users first need to add nss-certs and reconfigure
to use e.g. wget. The installer should either install nss-certs, ask
whether to install them, or display a warning that no SSL certificates
will be installed referring the user to the manual, I think.

This is fixed by 113bc0817221e8db8152c817a3805c517eae31e3. What I did
is that ‘nss-certs’ is proposed next to sshd and Tor, but it’s selected
by default.

Thanks for the good issue report as always!
