This will only affect provisioning, not any usage of APT during the build, 
right? Or will it propagate into the chroot somehow?

We have ticket #9430 where we considered adding this configuration during the 
build as well, but we thought that "#5926 [1] will magically solve 99% of this 
problem, so IMO I should not waste time trying to fix it differently here" so 
we didn't in the end. Apparently the "1%" of this problem that we ignored is to 
enable Tails to be built in regions with worse connectivity to our servers than 
us. Admittedly that ticket seemed to have a focus on these issues vs our infra, 
which indeed was solved, but now we have another reason.

Cheers!
