I'm sorry that `uscan` did not work for you.

I had a thought about this problem and I think using APT proxy would be wrong 
and useless because "libdvd-pkg" downloads upstream sources directly from 
upstream and not from any of APT mirrors. Software like "apt-cacher-ng" 
automatically blocks such destinations so APT proxy will not be helpful for 
such case. Therefore I'm tagging this bug as "wontfix".

IMHO the only option is to configure proxy that `wget` understands.
