/etc/wgetrc contains the proxy IP address but no user/passwd information. /root/.wgetrc contains this user/passwd information. As well as /etc/apt/apt.conf.
I've redone the test you ask about...., trying wget as root : it works. Thus it is a problem with the package because - wget works well, - apt-get works well with the proxy (/etc/apt/apt.conf contains the proxy user/passwd).
