Another nice case is squid-deb-proxy, which is nothing more than a
specialized forward proxy for debian packages. While
squid-deb-proxy-client can autodiscover where the proxy server is, it
depends on avahi, which might not work in certain network configs.
Would be really awesome to have a squid-deb-proxy formula and then
add-relation in the clients to configure them to use the proxy,
instead of using squid-deb-proxy-client.
