Eh, the patch submitter attached just makes https method behave _same_ way http and ftp methods work? Currently https behaves like this: if http_proxy is not not set use apt-conf variables else connect directly Which, is most clearly unexpected and wrong. The rest methods work like this if http_proxy is not not set use apt-conf variables else use http_proxy for proxy If you do not intend to change that behaviour for other methods, I don't see why reject a patch that makes https method behave different from others. If proxy variables are used wrong, lets be atleast uniformly wrong :) -- "rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups
