This will only affect provisioning, not any usage of APT during the build, right? Or will it propagate into the chroot somehow?
We have ticket #9430 where we considered adding this configuration during the build as well, but we thought that "#5926 [1] will magically solve 99% of this problem, so IMO I should not waste time trying to fix it differently here" so we didn't in the end. Apparently the "1%" of this problem that we ignored is to enable Tails to be built in regions with worse connectivity to our servers than us. Admittedly that ticket seemed to have a focus on these issues vs our infra, which indeed was solved, but now we have another reason.
Cheers!
