Yes, I do. What's even more annoying is that when the installer is doing
the equivalent of apt-get update immediately *before* downloading the
langpacks, it properly uses the proxy.

(Also, nobody has yet to explain why it is that, despite asking for an
en_US install, the installer feels the need to download packages to add
en_GB and en_ZA support for openoffice.)
