This is how I check:

root at pxe-test6-pre:~/dpkg-1.17.13# dpkg -l libproxy*
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

connect(3, {sa_family=AF_LOCAL, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
root at pxe-test6-pre:~/dpkg-1.17.13# GET http://wpad/wpad.dat
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
return "DIRECT";
}
root at pxe-test6-pre:~/dpkg-1.17.13# 

As you can see, strace show no connect to the web server, even if the
libproxy1-plugin-webkit package is installed.
