Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
apt-get overrides apt.conf proxy settings with the http_proxy enviroment
variable. This is counter intuitive as you would expect application level
settings to override system/user settings.
This means I cannot use apt helper programs like apt-cacher or apt-p2p when I
have the proxy set in System->Preferences->Network Proxy
Can there be a apt.conf setting which overides this behaviour (so as not
to break existing configs)
