Public bug reported:

When apt-cacher-ng is set as global apt proxy

> $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt-cacher 
> Acquire::http { Proxy "http://localhost:3142";; };

the ubuntu-release-upgrader tool will use the proxy setting to access
the release notes [1] on archive.ubuntu.com. These will be answered by
apt-cacher-ng with 403 denied making the release notes unavailable for
no apparent reason.
