Indeed, this appears to be the most convenient way to transfer the details?

There is the problem that apts behaviour of falling back to http settings is highly inconsistent with most other programs, particularly proxy settings, where e.g. wget, curl etc. do not conflate configuration. For the time being, we can just support https_proxy and fallback like other apt settings, but in the future I strongly believe apt should deprecate the fallback to http settings. I am gathering, reviewing, and integrating several small fixes like this and submit the results shortly.
