Right.  But I guess it is running too late. :(

We use http now for everything, so Debian Edu do not need the ftp
proxy nor the https proxy.  But I agree, settig them all would be
fine. :)

The wget call in the script
<URL: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-edu/debian-edu-config.git/tree/share/ltsp/plugins/ltsp-build-client/Debian-custom/000-arch-detection >
got stuck because wget did not use the proxy set in d-i.  I had to add
a timeout to avoid a endless hang.
