Samba-common is the right package for this. I see no need to have a squid- specific subpackage (and then samba-apache, samba-freeradius, with the same content, or all virtual packages just pulling samba-common). Feel free to mess up your squid package by adding suggests on samba-common, but since installing the right package is trivially solved by the admin and is a small portion of the work required, I would personally prefer not to increase the default footprint of any installation that pulls in squid.
