Quoting from apt-proxy's README:
---------
Q: What else is apt-proxy known to work with? How do I configure it?
[...]
A2: debootstrap, which uses wget. This means you can easily install new
machine using the packages out of your apt-proxy cache. In boot floppies,
specify http://APTPROXY:9999/main as your debian mirror (replacing APTPROXY
with the name or IP address of the machine where apt-proxy is running).
---------
In your case, tell it your debian mirror is at:
http://cmn.lan.gnu:9999/main
