I'm recently trying to install alpha-3 image using l-m-c on an AMD64 machine which is behind the company firewall. Though I have apt proxy set on host machine, l-m-c installing system (chroot env?) does not know it. Can we improve the l-m-c a little bit to copy apt proxy setting if any on host machine into installing system? So that the machine behind proxy can survive with l-m-c too.
PS. Actually, I have my machine home which can directly access natty repository, but it's very slow (see below), probably because there is no natty mirror in China yet.

When I use vpn to connect company network, speed of accessing ubuntu repository can reach ~200 kB/s. Considering that I'm testing l-m-c back and forth, I really need a faster apt speed within l-m-c.
