Does it still make sense to do this for Lucid? There are lots of interesting warts here: for example, it's important to make sure that it's possible to set the proxy in control-center in a live session and have that apply to the installation, since there's no other way to set a proxy during installation at the moment. Would it be better to accept the patch to limp along with the existing approach for Lucid, and clean up next time round?
