[Bug 957142] [NEW] apt-key calls wget without proxy environment variable

[Luis Mondesi]

Public bug reported:

When running as a regular user the command 'sudo update-manager -d',
sudo strips the environment of the http_proxy variable which is needed
for "apt-key netupdate" to run wget and update Ubuntu keyring.

Even setting the proxy environment variables from /etc/environment or
modifying the APT proxy settings via Acquire::http { Proxy ... } as apt-
key calls wget to fetch the keyring instead of using APT internals.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
