An alternative approach would be to be able to specify an apt proxy
server within xen-tools. This would then be used by debootstrap and by
the guest system.
Some of my custom role scripts involve adding custom apt repositories,
so this has the advantage of using the proxy for all of them as well.
I've implemented this here:
