[Bug 601883] Re: update-manager fails to download release notes with apt-cacher-ng

[Andy Whitcroft]

@ubuntu-sponsors -- in #3 and #4 above are proposed debdiffs for apt-
cacher-ng to allow update-manager -d mode upgrades to the next release
to work.  Without these update-manager is unable to get the release
notes and refuses to update the users system.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

Now that update-manager is correctly honouring the apt Proxy configuration update-manager -d upgrades to the next development release no longer work.  The download of the DevelReleaseAnnouncement fails.  This seems to occur because the request has a ?lang=<foo> suffix.
