> wget?

Nothing wrong with wget. Debian security advisories routinely include
instructions for using wget as one of the ways to fetch updated packages. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/debian-s...
for a recent example.

Note however that DSAs are both signed and include MD5 sums for the updated
packages.
