The question is not about "the proxying" or not but the way to do it.

Purge what? The whole package to get rid of one feature?
Anyhow, I think the "purging" option should be dropped, since its means
going through config with the axe, and because people who didn't care
about that in the past won't care in the future.
Any comments to the following proposal (which would replace the previous
two questions).
Template: apt-cacher-ng/gentargetmode
Type: select
_Choices: Setup once, Setup now and update later, No automated setup
_Default: Create once
_Description: Preconfigure apt-cacher-ng for transparent requests source rerouting?
Apt-cacher-ng can request packages from a mirror of your choosing, instead of
the one requested by the client. To configure this feature, sets of source
mirrors needs to be configured for various distributions.
.
During the package installation, this sets can be configured based on the
current state of /etc/apt/sources.list. Optionally, this process can be
repeated on every package update (modifying configuration files later).
.
NOTE: selecting "No automated setup" can leave previously created mirror
configuration behind, which needs to be updated by cache administrator.
Regards,
Eduard.
