Confirmed bug. I am a proxy wizard...all other proxy functions work (other than other known bugs). Browser, GNOME, http_proxy, synaptic proxy...all work, except for the sloppy scripts in this one package that I can't remove because that doesn't work, either (see below).

env | grep http
http_proxy=http://poppafuze:my;proxy;<email address hidden>:80/

Error parsing proxy URL http://poppafuze:my;proxy;<email address hidden>:80/: Bad port number.

...also failed to parse...

env | grep http
http_proxy=http://poppafuze:my;proxy;<email address hidden>:80

Error parsing proxy URL http://poppafuze:my;proxy;<email address hidden>:80: Bad port number.

Also, please note the related symptom: The rm script attempts to download the packages again upon removal.
So if someone wants to remove that package because it can't auth to a proxy, the package removal fails because it tries to use the proxy upon removal. This is actually a separate bug.
