Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
apt-get overrides apt.conf proxy settings with the http_proxy enviroment variable. This is counter intuitive as you would expect application level settings to override system/user settings.
This means I cannot use apt helper programs like apt-cacher or apt-p2p when I have the proxy set in System-
Can there be a apt.conf setting which overides this behaviour (so as not to break existing configs)

Seen this too. It also surfaces in synaptic, where the proxy settings in the GUI are ignored in favour of http_proxy.
