I made ReleaseAnnoucement have the \\? as well:
"ReleaseAnnouncement|(\\?.*)"

and uploaded to maverick. many thanks. We should probably SRU this too
once the fix in maverick is confirmed to work.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

TEST CASE:
1. use lucid with the latest update (but with the normal apt-cacher-ng)
2. run apt-cacher-ng on this machine
3. point proxy to apt-cacher-ng and run "update-manager -d"
4. verify that no release update appears

5. install the new apt-cacher-ng from lucid-proposed
6. repeat 2,3 and verify that it works now

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.
