Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
The manual page for apt.conf reads:
It is possible to proxy FTP over HTTP by setting the ftp_proxy
environment variable to a http url - see the discussion of the http
method above for syntax. You cannot set this in the configuration
file and it is not recommended to use FTP over HTTP due to its low
efficiency.
I would like to proxy FTP over HTTP, and would like to update
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* instead of using the environment variable. I
want the two ways of configuring an FTP proxy to work the same way,
making it possible to use
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://proxy:3128/";;
instead of having to change the enviroment.

As far as I can see, this bug is fixed and the manual page for
apt.conf document how to set the FTP proxy using the config file.
No idea when it was fixed, but it is fixed in the version in Lenny.
Happy hacking,
