[Bug 1319267] [NEW] ubuntu template: don't set $http_proxy from $HTTP_PROXY

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

I'm using apt-cacher-ng on my workstation, so my local apt specifies
Acquire::http { Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3142"; };

That won't work in a container, because there the IP is 10.0.3.1.

But with lxc-ubuntu's choose_container_proxy() there is no way to get it
right:

 - If I specify HTTP_PROXY=http://10.0.3.1:3142 then the container's apt
config is correct, but bootstrapping fails because it also sets "export
http_proxy=$HTTP_PROXY"

 - If I specify HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:3142, then bootstrapping
works, but the container's apt config is broken

Please do either of:

 - Don't set http_proxy to $HTTP_PROXY
 - Allow specifying/overriding $http_proxy and $APT_PROXY separately

Thanks!
