Title:
  debootstrap incorrectly uses ProxyAutoDetect

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When running debootstrap with `Acquire::http::ProxyAutoDetect` the
  result of the command used by debootstrap is incorrect.

  According to `apt` the result of "no proxy" is to return the string
  "DIRECT". However debootstrap simply stores the result of the command
  into http_proxy verbatim, which breaks subsequent curl requests as it
  is an invalid proxy string.

  The attached patch shows the basic change necessary to fix this.
