According to bug 568704 it should work, using "d-i mirror/http/proxy
string http://apt-cacher:3142/".

Title:
netboot install proxy apt-cacher
Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I am trying to use apt-cacher with the netboot installer found here:
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/
(tried feisty's too)
The only way I could get it to work were with these settings:
### Mirror settings
d-i mirror/country string enter information manually
d-i mirror/http/hostname string cp600:3142
d-i mirror/http/directory string /us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
I tried a normal hostname and dir (us.archive.ubuntu.com and /ubuntu ) and all sorts of versions of proxy:
d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://cp600:3142/
d-i mirror/http/proxy string cp600:3142/
d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://cp600:3142
d-i mirror/http/proxy string cp600:3142
In both a preseed file and the interactive text based installer. The
only thing that I could see working was to put the proxy in hostname,
host name in dir and and leave proxy blank. yuck.
It seems odd that the proxy needs the http:// when hostname doesn't.
