Work-around for at least the proxy issue:
After you run add-apt-repository and it hangs, it's already set up the repo. I
did let it sit for awhile and it will eventually time out, but it's several
minutes at least.
So, if you cancel out and run 'sudo apt-get update'

It looks like add-apt-repository doesn't seem to set the http_proxy

remove / anyways.
The patch above didn't go smoothly, and I can't justify working more on
it during work time. :)
But I've found a workaround:
If you add 'auth sufficient pam_ldap.so' to the BEGINNING on
/etc/pam.d/gnome-screensaver, gnome-screensaver unlocks properly for LDAP

Problem still exists in Hardy 8.04-Release. Sigh. Note that this is a
basic LDAP server, with no SSL/TLS or password required to access the
