IMHO, it is kind of wrong to package Squid in a way that, by default,
triggers MGR_INDEX errors that are prominently visible in cache.log on
startup. There has to be a better way!

Would it be possible to include a dummy MGR_INDEX template (empty or
nearly empty or somehow defaulting to the mgr:menu action) that "third
parties" will overwrite if they re-package Squid?

If that is a bad idea, perhaps we should somehow mark this particular
"page" as optional?

Please note that I am not saying "mgr:" should do something useful by
default. I am just saying that there should not be "No such file or
directory" errors during Squid startup by default.

Thank you,

Alex.
