Thanks for the clarification. I've marked this as a wishlist bug for
now, as developer time for such a feature is limited.

Title:
  apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  apt-get can use a HTTP proxy if on is configured in its settings, but
  then it fails if the proxy is unavailable.

  Would be nice (and save ubuntu's server resources) if apt-get could
  use a proxy/cache opportunisticly, i.e. use it if available and access
  the repositories directly otherwise.

  regards
