Thanks for the bugreport and the patch. The patch is not ideal because urllib2 always uses GET (for http) and RETR (for ftp). This is not ideal as it will cause more traffic than needed, especially when looking for a big File like Packages.gz. This is why the (more complicated) version with httplib/ftplib is used. In trunk this should be fixed and proxy support should be fully working.
