I'd request to consider this bug "serious" and some steps need to be taken urgently. Since most of the new users are not aware of the wget configuration (I did not know about the wgetrc file before going through some duplicates of this! But I have environment variable http_proxy set in .bashrc and wget works fine in terminal), there must be a way in synaptic to pass on the gnome/synaptic proxy settings to wget.
