Bug#1120167: apt ignores proxy settings configured in KDE

Package: apt
Version: 3.0.3

Apparently apt seems to ignore the http proxy and the exceptions list
I have configured in KDE settings. Since there is a "Software Update"
option in the same settings GUI, this might be unexpected for a novice
user.

Do you think some kind of plugin could derive the proxy configuration
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d from the proxy settings menu?
