Public bug reported:

auto-apt-proxy waits too long if there is no answer on the network.

My apt-cacher-ng is not on localhost, or the gateway but a separate
machine on the LAN.  Apparently, auto-apt-proxy cannot detect the cache
in that case (whereas squid-deb-proxy-client can).  This lead to "apt
update" hanging for about 10 minutes each time.  Please make sure to
time out after no more than 2 seconds.
