Why is it that every program seems to need to implement proxy recognition separately? Because their developers almost always aren't using a proxy, so they naturally forget. aptdaemon, bug 446069. apturl, bug 12609. Deskbar, bug 32770. F-Spot, bug 116796. Synaptic, bug 13661. Update Manager, bug 446552. Even msttcorefonts, bug 56880. Shouldn't this be fixed at the networking library level somehow?
