apt-cacher needs to know what mirror to use and that is encoded into the directory. So unless you configured something else for apt-cache it should look like this d-i mirror/http/directory string apt-cacher/ftp.de.debian.org/debian > d-i mirror/suite string testing > d-i mirror/http/proxy string > > Where 'mir' is the server that runs the apt proxy and '9999' the port it > listens.
