Well, I know your biased :-)

Oh, and I forgot to mention.

It also force-installs squid.conf.documented and squid.conf.default.
Assuming that squid.conf is the one user edits to be left untouched.

Such that users always have the most current *.documented version for
their install, and the distribution maintainers can automate their stuff
based on the clean most-current *.default (same arguments promoted for
cachemgr.conf.default creation earlier by maintainers)
