I think there is agreement that these common usecases should be
documented in the manual pages, but it has not happened yet.
For "APT proxy by URL", the config.pl fragment that currently gets advertised
is:
push @{$unshare_mmdebstrap_extra_args}, "*",
['--aptopt=Acquire::http { Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142";; }'];
Hope this helps,
Chris
