Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.9-1
Severity: normal

There seems to have been a recent regression in http proxy handling
for 'aptitude changelog'.  I had set in apt.conf:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8081";;
Acquire::http::Proxy::bugs.debian.org "DIRECT";

where http://proxy:8081 was an apt-cacher instance, which doesn't
handle bugs or changelogs.  apt-listbugs added the ability to handle
the latter in order to fix bug 396304.  And I'm pretty sure 'aptitude
changelog' must have been using the value of the environment variable
$http_proxy (which was set to the null string in my case), given that
it was working up until very recently (can't check what version right
now, alas...).  But alas, now it seems it must be using the value of
Acquire::http::Proxy, which for apt-cacher (or numerous other package
cachers) users, is not the correct thing to do.  If this is indeed a
change of behaviour, could we get it using the $http_proxy environment
variable again, and before lenny?
