I run oops as a local proxy on my laptop, and use the 'setoops' script
from whereami to tell it whether / what the upstream proxy is.
This isn't apt-proxy, of course, but a proxy that works for Mozilla and
friends as well, so I don't have to change any settings in other
software when my internet connectivity changes.
Occasionally I want to access sites that are not normally accessible
from my current location (e.g. intranet, when I'm out of the office) and
in those cases I have a script to stop oops and ssh tunnel local 3128 to
a different proxy server.

Andrew.
