I'd have done if we weren't in freeze. Is the above fix suitable for
debian-edu-config in Debian 9? If yes, I'd be happy to commit this
enhancement.

if in doubt, put it in a branch… eg one named buster.

that said, reasonable+reviewable changes are still possible to get included
into stretch… best if accompanired by rc fixes, but not neccessarily.

If you agree with it, I can push it directly to Git.

Here is a patch locking down the proxy settings in Chromium. Personally, I feel this is a good add-on for Debian Edu 9.
