Title:
  installer stops using proxy

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  net install behind a squid proxy.   target can only access web via
  squid.  it gets almost done, and fails to install grub.  enable
  forwarding on squid box, retry, install finishes.

  looking at syslog, it looks like it is failing to get some language
  related packages.

  But what seems to be the show stopper: 
  "Could not connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.92.182), connection timed out "

  I also see this in the mist:
  Nov 12 21:20:36 net/hw-detect.hotplug: Detected hotpluggable network interface eth0
  maybe it re-configured the net stuff, including the proxy?  prolly not, just seemed worth a mention.

  here is my idea of the important parts of the log - attached full
  syslog to the point of "can't install grub" message.
