No, this is not true. The HTTP/1.1 RFC talks about assumptions with regard
to proxies and keep alive, APT does more or less follow them. The problem
is that your proxy is not HTTP/1.0 complient (let alone 1.1!) and does not
stop parsing the request after the trailing \r\n sequence. So it sees the
pipelined second request and panics.

You should be able to get around this by using -o
acquire::http::pipeline-depth=0 as noted in the man page.
