Hello,

Like the new version is installed elsewhere, it shouldn't be a problem.

Let's verify where are the debian squid files :

$ dpkg -L squid
/.
/etc

/etc/logrotate.d/squid

But, be careful about config and init.d files (/etc/squid.conf and
/etc/init.d/squid) if you use them...
You'd better backup them :)

Another solution is to build a new debian package with the version and
options you need.
It's not very difficult...
