Thanks a lot for the patch, I merged it and uploaded it (along with
some more fixes) to experimental. I was slightly hesitant about it
first because in the past {http,ftp}_proxy always won over the apt
conf. But I guess if we release note it (or put it into NEWS.Debian or
something) we should be fine. It more correct this way.

Thanks, 
 Michael
