I had a similar problem on 8.04.
Following on from Venkatesh's observations, I thought I'd try:
cd /var/cache/apt-proxy sudo find . -name Packages.bz2 -exec bunzip2 -f {} \;
I also had to restart apt-proxy to pick up my config changes:
sudo /etc/init.d/apt-proxy restart
Only then did it import any packages.
