Bug#726597: Please document Acquire::http::ProxyAutoDetect
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.0
Severity: wishlist
Acquire::http::ProxyAutoDetect has become very handy for autodetecting
networks with apt-cachers like ACNG (see for example squid-deb-proxy).
In other words, allows painless proxy discovery for those of us proxy impaired.
Saddly it is not documented in apt.conf(5). Being documented would help in
implementations like the one described in #726430.
Thanks, Lisandro.
