* debian/apt.cron.daily:

  - do not look into admin users gconf anymore for the http proxy
    the user now needs to use the "Apply system-wide" UI in the
    gnome-control-center to set it
* debian/apt.postinst:
  - add set_apt_proxy_from_gconf() and run that once on upgrade if
    there is no proxy configured already system-wide (LP: #432631)
    From that point on gnome-control-center will have to warn if
    the user makes changes to the proxy settings and does not apply
    them system wide
