I don't understand your point. You asked for a target audience for auto-apt-proxy. I gave you a legitimate (and real-world) example for such a deployment. Why should it matter whether or not an organization has other configuration facilities? As another example, nobody says: "the target audience for DHCP is an organization who has an infrastructure with full control over a network, including IP address management, but apparently can't configure IP addresses at install time or via some sort of runtime configuration management" and concludes that DHCP is useless. auto-apt-proxy (or DHCP for that matter) *is* the runtime configuration management, and a quite efficient one at that.
