Hi,

using debootstrap with http_proxy set works fine. However, the
resulting chroot is not configured to use the proxy, and subsequent
attempts to use apt fail.

Please think about possibilities to fix this, for example by
generating a /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy and/or /etc/bash.bashrc
containing the appropriate settings learned from http_proxy in the
host system.

Greetings
Marc
