Hard for us to do. I've just discovered why patching up versions didn't
fix this for us: Our package source-tree has multiple maintainers. One
of them has moved our default squid.conf from the 'usual' place, and
installs it into the package from another part of the tree...which is
not unreasonable. Our squid.conf starts life as a series of about 30
source-files that are merged through a C++ preprocessor before finally
ending up in the package.
