Connections over a proxy server (a HTTP caching instance of trafficserver 5.1 in my case) often timeout because the tolerance of a minimal latenccy introduced by the proxying is extermely low. The default values should be increased to avoid pointless annoyance of the user who might have to invoke `ubuntu-bug package` ten or twenty times.
Working around the issue by disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet (with the `network-manager` applet and possibly others) increases chances to be able to upload the report, i.e. immediate failure of a new attempt to upload data with `ubuntu-bug` after the reconnection is rare.
