When you configure deb.d.o with apt, apt performs a SRV lookup and connects to the right backend. When you use a proxy, the proxy is in charge for performing those SRV lookups. squid doesn't do that. So it connects to deb.d.o and receives a 302 redirect to cdn-fastly. Except when it doesn't and receives a timeout instead. This happened a lot recently. The whole business of redirecting each request is neither efficient nor fault tolerant. So we change the default mirror to the default SRV target when connecting through a squid. Putting the redirects out of the loop is both faster and avoids the timeouts.
