Certainly, the APT maintainer did; the APT users' guide
(/usr/share/doc/apt/guide.text.gz) has a pointer to sources.list(5),
which contains the following stanza:
http The http scheme specifies an HTTP server for the
archive. If an environment variable $http_proxy is
set with the format http://server:port/, the proxy
server specified in $http_proxy will be used. Users
of authenticated HTTP/1.1 proxies may use a string
of the format http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/ Note
that this is an insecure method of authentication.
