[Bug 1501217] Re: apt-get removing squid-deb-proxy-client leaves a stale config file

That is not a workaround, that is the proper "fix".

Squid-deb-proxy-client is essentially simply a package that installs a
configuration snippet /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30autoproxy so that any call
to the network will be proxied to a local proxy iff such a proxy is
present.  That test is being done in /usr/share/squid-deb-proxy-client
/apt-avahi-discover.  What happens when you remove the package is that
/usr/share/squid-deb-proxy-client/apt-avahi-discover gets removed, but
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30autoproxy stay around until you purge the package.

In my opinion, this is expected behaviour and this ticket should be
closed as invalid.
