Native packages can use that, cross-building ones need more help.

Proxy settings in the environment (indeed, most environment variables
used by or for native packages) are useless to cross-building tools.

Doesn't make any odds. This isn't a bug in emsetup or emdebian-tools.
As I stated originally, apt-cross needs to do a lot of changes in the
apt environment in order for apt to understand cross-building issues.
Please implement the apt config for your proxy and reassign this bug to
apt-cross IF it still occurs.

This is not a bug in emdebian-tools, that is just where it shows up.
