Technically popcon-upload will honour the variable http_proxy following the usual syntax: http_proxy="http://proxy:port/";. The script popularity-contest itself does not use it. http_proxy seems to be a standard, but I don't know how it is supposed to be set in Debian. For the purpose of popcon-upload, it is sufficient to set it (and export it) in the script /etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest. If I get more definite information, I will document it in the FAQ.
