I'm not sure I followed it right, but passing the task of setting a proxy to 
PackageKit
will break others backends, also the way it is now give the backends more 
control
to do what the distro decides it's best, for example if the apt backend sees 
that
the proxy was set into /etc/apt/apt.d then we ignore the user proxy, since root
knows better which proxy to use, if all backends get http_proxy set then we will
have to work around this issue.

Best,
DAniel.
