When one installs emacs-org-board, wget2-2.1.0 gets installed along with
it as for emacs-substitute-variables, as you say, and the variable
org-board-wget-program is bound to this hardcoded value.

Once one decides to upgrade wget2 to something different (say, in a
different profile), this logic breaks. User needs to manually bind
org-board-wget-program to whatever wget2 is after upgrading. At this
point, wget2 becomes a native-input requirement.

Please, correct me if I’m wrong.
