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

[Alex Moldovan]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu Xenial installer (ubuntu-16.04.2-server-amd64.iso) 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 landscapce 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:
+ http_proxy = <your-proxy>
+ https_proxy = <your-proxy>
+ 
+ Replace <your-proxy> with your proxy IP/hostname and port if needed.
