apt-setup needs some work to handle the proxy correctly and fix up
details of timeout handling.

Bug description:
  It happens that d-i uses the wget from busybox, and as a result, it
  can't install against an https mirror. This is clearly not intended
  behavior, because apt-config is able to deal with https. Perhaps there
  should be a wget udeb that includes the right bits to have ssl
  support, or alternatively, busybox should support it.
