[Bug 1699789] Re: Ubuntu server installer misses http/s proxy settings for Landscape

[Alex Moldovan]

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  The Ubuntu Xenial installer doesn't offer option to provide http/https
  proxy to be used by Landscape client when selecting "Manage system with
  Landscape" on upgrades management tasksel question. Therefore if system
  is placed behind proxy it will not be able to communicate with Landscape
  server. During system installation installer is asking user to provide
  proxy that is used by APT. It would be suitable that same proxy would be
  used for Landscape.
  
  [Test Case]
  
- The installer should offer the option to specify the proxy settings for the landscape-clint and successfully apply them to /etc/landscape/client.conf as:
+ Install Ubuntu server behind a proxy and select "Manage system with Landscape" on upgrades management tasksel question. The installer should offer the option to specify the proxy settings for the landscape-clint and successfully apply them to /etc/landscape/client.conf as:
  http_proxy = <your-proxy>
  https_proxy = <your-proxy>
  
  Replace <your-proxy> with your proxy IP/hostname and port if needed.
