Placing a line like

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy-address:8000/";

in a new file in for example /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10-proxy should do the trick. Be sure to have set up HTTP mirrors in your sources.list if you want to connect to an HTTP proxy or just add another Acquire::ftp::Proxy line for FTP mirror/proxy. Also change address and port number accordingly.
