Title:
  increase latency tolerance of proxied connections

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Connections over a proxy server (a HTTP caching instance of
  trafficserver 5.1 in my case) often timeout because the tolerance of a
  minimal latenccy introduced by the proxying is extermely low. The
  default values should be increased to avoid pointless annoyance of the
  user who might have to invoke `ubuntu-bug package` ten or twenty
  times.

  Working around the issue by disconnecting and reconnecting to the
  internet (with the `network-manager` applet and possibly others)
  increases chances to be able to upload the report, i.e. immediate
  failure of a new attempt to upload data with `ubuntu-bug` after the
  reconnection is rare.
