well, it seems for me this just starts apt-get getting everything all
over again, http_proxy or not.  So how does apt-get know if a
/var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages file is up to date or not?  It might be
unaware that we have changed a Packages file underneath its nose
because it only knows about changes that it itself did?
