Onionizing Qubes-Whonix Repositories

Our wiki instructions to add “tor+” in front of the onion addresses for repositories is wrong, because you get a bunch of these error messages:

W: Failed to fetch tor+http://sgvtcaew4bxjd7ln.onion/dists/jessie/updates/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages Failed to connect to localhost port 9050: Connection refused

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Just pointing to the .onion mirrors without “tor+” works fine. So what’s the correct method?
