I'm quite frustrated right now.  I have an apt source that is ftp, and I
just discovered this bug.  It's especially annoying as Google turns up a
message regarding the 0.3.2-era apt that shows it used to work.

I am on a laptop.  My laptop goes to the office (behind an http proxy)
and back home (no proxy).  While at the office, I cannot use an ftp
proxy, just ftp-over-http-proxy.  It's trivial to change apt.conf
automatically upon changing the network, but a true pain to have to
keep setting and unsetting ftp_proxy in my windows.
