I don't know. Maybe it needs libproxy (built with duktape) to handle
the PAC file or not.
To me the main point of libproxy is to propagate the system proxy
setting (for example the one in gsettings) to all applications using
libproxy. I don't have a way to test it: even without it Firefox still
picks up my proxy setting from gsettings if I select "use system proxy
setting" in the Firefox about:preferences, and if I select "manually
configure the proxy" and enter the proxy setting it works as well. Thus
the explanation in Firefox is incorrect too.
And at the very lease we are missing gsettings-desktop-schemas in the
dependency list, so our libproxy build may *not* actually use the proxy
setting in gsettings. I don't think it's a good thing: maybe adding
libproxy will actually *break* the proxy setting chain in GNOME then.
