Well, this configures apt only, and the apt repos are configured
to use http.  So for package installs we are all set.

We might additionally setup AcceptEnv in sshd_config (i.e. basically do
the same thing console_sshd_config() in basevm.py does for serial
console installs) so proxy evironment pass-through works for ubuntu ssh
logins too.  I didn't see a strong need for that with package downloads
being covered already, so I didn't try ...

cheers,
