[Bug 362970] Re: package flashplugin-installer 10.0.22.87ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade over proxy

Can I make a suggestion:

The flashplugin installer package should use a script instead of wget.
The script should dig the proxy setting out of the synaptic preferences
file, set http_proxy, then exec wget $*

This is essentially what I've hacked into my system using a redirect
script for wget, except that my script just has a hard-coded proxy.

Unfortunately the hack disappears every time a new version of wget
appears.

And unfortunately now wget doesn't work for internal servers that aren't
proxied, so I have to remember to use wget-original instead.

So it isn't ideal :-(
