The instructions Alex gave will build Squid under a /usr/local directory.

To have Squid installed where the system package would put it you need 
these ./configure options:

--prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/squid \
--datadir=${prefix}/share/squid \
--sysconfdir=/etc/squid \
--with-default-user=proxy \
--with-logdir=/var/log/squid \
--with-pidfile=/run/squid.pid

If you wish to use the old config yes. Run "squid -k parse" first to see 
if there are any updates needed with the new version.

The /usr/lib/systemd/system/squid.service file from 5.2 might work, or 
you can also try the Debian 13 one attached.
