I agree it's not super urgent, but still, when run on jenkins.d.n, we should 
use the closest mirror. It shouldn't be that hard to make jenkins-build-
makebuildserver set debian_mirror to the value of the http_proxy environment 
variable if it is set, and else default to ftp.uk.d.o.

In the worst case, reproducible_setup_fdroid_build_environment.sh can modify 
jenkins-build-makebuildserver with sed ;-p

Does that mean there's no proxy in use by the VM? That's not nice.


cheers,
