[Bug 1045950] [NEW] Quantal ubiquity lacks the ability to set an HTTP network proxy

[Erick Brunzell]

Public bug reported:

This is probably not a big deal but I'm trying to be thorough since
we're dropping the alternate images.

How important is it that those behind  a proxy can no longer set it
during installation?

I've not had to deal with that in nearly a decade ;^)
