But ltsp-build-client does use the proxy configured in apt regardless of
weather it's running in debian-installer or not, and apt is configured
by debian-installer...

But the script you referenced earlier would fail when run outside of
debian-installer, because it runs before the proxy values are set in the
ltsp-build-client plugins.

Given that the only code that breaks here is not part of LTSP, I think
it is appropriate to fix it in that code, not in LTSP.
