Is there a way to specify Acquire::HTTPS::Proxy in a negative way?

(Since setting acquire::http::proxy seems to set it up for https too without me wanting it)

Don't know about https itself, but does limiting hosts help you?

//Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:3142/";
    Proxy::bugs.debian.org "http://localhost:8080";
    // bug 493980:
    Proxy::packages.debian.org "http://localhost:8080";
