Thanks for your bugreport. If synaptic is run via gksu (the default in ubuntu) then the proxy settings from gnome are honored since IIRC edgy. Sometimes the reports are not updated in a case like this, but I can assure you that we do not forget the issues :)
Please let me know if that answer your request, if not, please add more information how exactly the system should work.
