I think the issue isn't certificate validation, it's that https proxy 
requests are made via CONNECT rather than GET. You could theoretically 
rewrite the proxy mechanism to MITM the CONNECT, but that wouldn't be a 
drop-in replacement. I suppose you could instead add an apt option to 
pass the https request to the proxy via GET instead of using CONNECT, 
but I think that also won't necessarily work on an existing proxy.

If we're imagining apt options, something like 
Acquire::https::Force-Proxy-HTTP true;
would probably be more useful for this specific case (not that I think 
it's a great idea--too much potential for surprise).
