Looking at another thread going on right now, I found this useful:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/Whonix%7Csort:date/qubes-users/gLqORddxb-Y/mDxXDi3cAwAJ

I can edit /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.UpdatesProxy, and change 
target=sys-whonix to target=sys-net. After I do that, my template seems to use 
sys-net as the UpdateVM.

This seems like a bug though. Shouldn't this file change when I change Qubes 
Global Settings?
