This is probably due to an error that was present for some time in Debian
Installer:
apt-setup (1:0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix broken proxy setting code in 90security. Closes: #378868
Some systems installed before this fix will have Acquire::http::proxy
"false" set in apt.conf, which leads to breakage in some situations.
Also, if a proxy was set, it would not be written to the file.
