Also apt-add-repository is not honouring proxy inside sudo (but both
wget and apt-add-repository honours the proxy in su, when a root
password is set)

Even sudo inside su does not work!

root@gift-laptop:/home/gift# sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/aims-desktop

sudo is a very common and recommended way to add a repository.

Title:
  wget does not honour proxy inside sudo

Status in “wget” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On precise wget honours the proxy inside sudo:

  On trusty, it does not:

  This is going to break most of the advice on the internet to e.g. sudo
  wget somesite/some-apt-key.
