This was just discussed in #ubuntu-devel. That was the plan:
* Drop the gconfery from apt's daily cron job
* Move the gconfery to apt's postinst, to set the proxy during upgrade
to lucid, once. This means that we can entirely drop all hacks from
lucid+1 on.
* Drop the hack from sudo, so that it's back to upstream behaviour.
* Change the wording in control-center to also point out that "Apply
system wide" is necessary for package installation, if the proxy makes
sense in a system wide context.
