Eh, the patch submitter attached just makes https method behave _same_ way
http and ftp methods work? Currently https behaves like this:

if http_proxy is not not set
        use apt-conf variables
else
        connect directly

Which, is most clearly unexpected and wrong. The rest methods work like
this

if http_proxy is not not set
        use apt-conf variables
else
        use http_proxy for proxy

If you do not intend to change that behaviour for other methods, I don't
see why reject a patch that makes https method behave different from
others. If proxy variables are used wrong, lets be atleast uniformly
wrong :)
