[Bug 1929241] Re: [feature request] add a proxy CLI option to debootstrap

[Bill Yikes]

Now that ~7 months have past, I don't recall if I tried the env var.
Probably not, because nothing in the docs suggests that the env var has
any effect.  The http_proxy environment variable is a convention. Some
apps honor the convention and some don't. In the case at hand, there's
nothing to even suggest that debootstrap is proxy-capable.

If it is proxy-capable, great, but we still have a bug b/c it's
undocumented.

Title:
  [feature request] add a proxy CLI option to debootstrap

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  debootstrap connects to the Internet but provides no proxy option, and
  the man page makes no mention of whether the http_proxy environment
  variable is honored.  Ideally, Tor users would benefit most from
  SOCKS4a support.  I suggest modeling after cURL ("--socks4a
  127.0.0.1:9050").
