Yes there is:
prechange: in the build dir there is squid.conf, make install installs
that as squid.conf.default, and if there is no squid.conf installs it as
squid.conf
postchange: in the bulid dir there is squid.conf.default. That always
gets installed, and optionally installs a copy as squid.conf - if there
is no conf file already.
