Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager-core

Here is some details:
Our networks proxy is running debcacher. This requires the sources.list to be 
rewritten something like this:
  deb http://debcache/apt-cacher/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main 
restricted
  deb-src http://debcache/apt-cacher/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates 
main restricted

When the updater is used it gives an error about the format of the sources.list 
file before rewriting to contain <something else>, before starting its updates.
While this may wind up being the safest way to ensure the new archives are 
reachable, it does cause a problem for people using proxies/mirrors, as they 
are unable to cleanly select their preferred update source.

** Affects: update-manager-core (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
