ar is referenced in

x_feign_install () in debootstrap/woody
extract ()         in debootstrap/functions

and wget:

richard@beast:/build/debootstrap/debootstrap-0.1.15.2$ find . -type f | xargs grep wget
./debian/control:Recommends: wget
./functions:    if wget -q -O "$dest" "$from"; then
./functions:        if wget -c -q -O "$dest" "$from"; then break; fi


Those files live under /usr/lib/debootstrap.
