Yes, if you 'really' want - but it'd be pointless.
Because I was wrong.

I hadn't paid attention to that section before (thanks for the pointer).
So it seems that /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy should work fine for the OP's
purposes (it's my understanding that package maintainers should use a
2-digit prefix though).
Unless there's another file (/etc/apt/apt.conf or
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/loweraphanumericIndex), but I can't imagine how that
would happen.. the OP said he created the snippet (fragment?) before the
d-i proxy question, but if the answer was no /etc/apt/apt.d/90proxy
shouldn't be created.

I no longer use apt-cacher, but I don't recall any differences in how
they process proxy directives in apt.conf or snippets in apt.conf.d/
