Okay. Since they were obsoleted by 2.6 you don't. The bigger issue is
how you got a config like that out of a 2.7 bundle!

'error messages' in web terminology means something completely different
which can be 'kept'.

I assume you mean where doe sit send the startup error output? That is
usually sent to syslog by Debian/Ubuntu during init process and then
when squid is going to the /var/logs/squid3/cache.log
