sudo is the wrong place to fix this, I'm afraid. What should happen
instead is that apt itself should use the global proxy settings, either
directly from /etc/environment, or indirectly by changing ubuntu-system-
service to additionally write an apt configuration file with the proxy
settings. Michael, do you have thoughts on this?

** Summary changed:

- sudo does not keep http_proxy environment variable
+ apt/aptitude need to take global proxy settings into account

** Package changed: sudo (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)
