OK, if this is the wanted behaviour , looking on cvsweb on
www.squid-cache.org, I think there is an error:

         $(INSTALL_FILE) squid.conf.default $(sysconfdir)/squid.conf.default
         @if test -f $(sysconfdir)/squid.conf ; then \
                 echo "$@ will not overwrite existing
$(sysconfdir)/squid.conf" ; \
         else \
                 echo "$(INSTALL_FILE) squid.conf.default $(sysconfdir)"; \
                 $(INSTALL_FILE) squid.conf.default $(sysconfdir); \ <==
$(sysconfdir)/squid.conf; ????
         fi
