           The Cache-control, Timeout, AllowRedirect, Dl-Limit and proxy options work for HTTPS URIs in the same way as for the http method, and

The value of 'false' is simply the unset default. It would appear to be a documentation bug that the apt.conf man page doesn't mention this. Anyway, it is tested and works fine, and versions of juju prior to v0.6 used this to disable the apt proxy for https apt sources.
