This was just discussed in #ubuntu-devel. That was the plan:

 * Drop the gconfery from apt's daily cron job

 * Move the gconfery to apt's postinst, to set the proxy during upgrade to lucid, once. This means that we can entirely drop all hacks from lucid+1 on.

 * Drop the hack from sudo, so that it's back to upstream behaviour.

 * Change the wording in control-center to also point out that "Apply system wide" is necessary for package installation, if the proxy makes sense in a system wide context.
