If he is the system admin, he should know if he installed or set up the
machine. If he isn't, then he shouldn't reinstall or install packages.
If he didn't install the system but is now the sysadmin, then he needs
to learn to use a package manager sooner or later.
Reinstalling to avoid removing a proxy seems overkill. This is debian.
You should only need to reinstall for a failed disk in a non-raid
system.
