Not with my system. I was upgradingu Ubuntu 8.04.1 to 8.04.2 today.

Proxy is configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10proxy

  Acquire::http::Proxy "http://squid:8000";

apt-get uses this proxy configuratoin successfully but when flashplugin-
nonfree is trying to download a file from macromedia.com using wget, it
fails with timeouts.

I checked "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" using "ps": When
installing the package flashplugin-nonfree, a file /var/cache
/flashplugin-nonfree/wgetrc is created that does *not* contain proxy
configuration from apt. So when wget is called, the environment variable
WGETRC is set to the wgetrc file and the file can not be retrieved from
macromedia.com. Even worse, root's .wgetrc is overruled.
