This is fixed now in intrepid. It will search for the proxy based on the
apt.conf configuration, the synaptic configuration and the gconf
environemnt (and of course the http_proxy environment).
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed = Fix Released

Unfortunatly that doesn't help me with my *really* horrible case. We
have a university where everyone is behind NTLM-authenticating proxies
(yes, braindead). However we have a local mirror.
Can the upgrade not be done in a way that doesn't require internet
access, but just a local mirror?

It would be a big help to others if the instructions at
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading were to mention the manual
proxy setting.
