What is the use case for this? Shouldn't proxy information be configured
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy ?



Downloading Debian Packages through a Proxy
Anothing example of using the apt configuration files is to instruct apt-get to download packages via a proxy server.

Simply place the following into a file such as
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080";;

Title:
  mythbuntu-repos overwriting mythbuntu-repos.list without adjusting for
  proxy.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  I am using approx and I edited the mythbuntu sources to use the proxy. For example:
  deb http://ppa:999/ppa/mythbuntu/repos/ubuntu lucid main
  deb http://ppa:999/ppa/mythbuntu/0.24/ubuntu lucid main
  deb http://ppa:999/ppa/mythbuntu/testing/ubuntu lucid main

  Recently something changed and mythbuntu-repos package is overwriting the mythbuntu-repos.list file with the following:
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/repos/ubuntu lucid main
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.24/ubuntu lucid main
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/testing/ubuntu lucid main

  It would be nice if mythbuntu-repos checked for the proxy and adjusted
  the URL accordingly.
