Bug#1008057: Debian Installer on CD netinst image doesn't use http_proxy on Debian Edu network

Quoting the manual:
"You can use an existing HTTP proxy service on the network to speed up 
the installation of the main server profile from CD. Add e.g. 
mirror/http/proxy=http://10.0.2.2:3128 as an additional boot parameter."
