Thanks for this ITP initiative.

Maybe you can document what's different from the legacy squid-deb-proxy
package. For instance, it seems the client binary package was dropped.

Also, I had started similar work[1] but never went for pushing it
to the Debian archive. As I never understood to separate squid instance
scenario, I chose to integrate into the system squid instance. If you think
this is usefull I can work on supporting this in the package. I also
use a Makefile to build acls, maybe it's interesting.
