OK Mathieu, I have started working through the bazaar docs.

Title:
synaptic network proxy preferences doesn't capitalize "internet"
Status in The synaptic package manager:
New
Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: synaptic
In synaptic 0.75~pre4 on Natty i386, in the Network tab of the
Preferences, the option "Direct connection to the internet" appears
under Proxy Server. The word "Internet" should be capitalized when it
refers to the largest and most widely used global internetwork (which
is what it refers to here, and almost everywhere else; appropriate
uses of the term "internet" without initial capitalization exist but
are rare).
So, that option should instead read, "Direct connection to the
Internet".
Besides being correct (and because of that), this usage is also common
throughout applications in Ubuntu, so adopting it in Synaptic will
also increase interface uniformity.
This bug might be reflected in other languages too, so fixing it might
require slight retranslation.
I am also able to produce this bug with synaptic 0.63.1ubuntu4 on a
Maverick amd64 system.
