I think, the code is/was wrong. The documentation is correct in that it says
what it should do. Attached is a patch to fix that issue (meant for 3.2.20),
which is included in 3.2.21+experimental2.

Which variable did you export? Is it really "proxy"? I think this must be
http_proxy, but maybe the man-page of debootstrap knows more about that!?

Sorry for this full-quote; I think it might be useful if you could add your
information to the bug reported as #404927 (http://bugs.debian.org/404927) for
udev people to work around this or kernel folks fix this.
