Indeed, http_proxy is an environment variable so child processes will inherit it, but parents will not see it. Putting it in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc should set it for all your bash future instances. I suppose you could easily implement your --proxy option by adding code into ltsp-build-client to set http_proxy to whatever --proxy is. It might make more sense though to simply mention the generalised proxy environment variable in the documentation for ltsp-build-client.
