Re-implementing yet another proxy seems quite dumb per se, but I agree
that a drop-in solution does not appear to be evident. However, I
think it would be worth to check whether there is some proxy solution
that aptitude can recommend, recognize on the fly, and possibly use
transparently without having to re-implement it.
Just my (lurker's) 0.02€,
