Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23.1
Severity: normal

I just noticed apt was ignoring my proxy settings.  They're included
in a file that had been #included into apt.conf and had been working
relatively recently.

strace -f reveals that it just completely ignores the #include
statement:

12716 stat("/etc/apt/apt.conf", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=422, ...}) = 0
12716 open("/etc/apt/apt.conf", O_RDONLY) = 4
12716 read(4, "#include \"/etc/apt/apt.conf.inc\""..., 8191) = 422
12716 read(4, "", 8191)                 = 0
12716 close(4)                          = 0

I note that apt.conf(5) still says that #include is legal syntax.
