Package: xen-tools
Version: 3.9-4
Severity: normal

I am behind a very slow internet connection that is also limited in download 
traffic. 
Therefore I am using apt-cacher-ng to cache all the packages.

As per apt-cacher-ng's instructions I am using the following syntax for apt's 
proxy.

# more /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy 
Acquire::http { Proxy "http://192.168.2.10:3142";; };

xen-tools do not handle this.
I modified /usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/20-setup-apt to also check for this 
proxy,
but it did not solve all issues.

It looks like xen-tools is bypassing the proxy in the initial stage.
When I modified xen-tools.conf and specified the apt-cacher-ng proxy directly 
on the
mirror row, then it works fine.
mirror_lenny=http://[::ffff:192.168.2.10]:3142/ftp.au.debian.org/debian
But not for the security updates. These I still need to modify manually in the 
20-setup-apt file.
