You really don't need two processes for ubuntu and debian repositories, 
separate backends are all you need.

That isn't possible in the current release; I'm just in the process of adding 
support for the next version, although I wouldn't recommend you use it for 
this problem.

The latest apt-proxy in both debian and ubuntu has all you need in the default 
configuration file!  There are two backends defined:

[debian]
backends = http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

[ubuntu]
backends = http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

and your client sources.list files look like this:

on debian:
  deb http://aptproxy:9999/debian stable main

on ubuntu:
  deb http://aptproxy:9999/ubuntu hoary main
