I think this is being done automatically by d-i as a result of the proxy being preseeded. In other words, if you automatically install an Ubuntu system without MAAS and preseed a proxy, you'll get the same result.
What is the reason that MAAS should do something different from d-i here? Or is this a request to change d-i's behaviour? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060900 Title: HTTP proxy config being created in /etc/apt/apt.conf on nodes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1060900/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
