FYI: I've tried providing back-ports for Ubuntu a while back. But the
churn in dpkg tools themselves this past 2 Debian cyces has been so much
that the .deb do not build on other OS versions from one year to the next.

Ubuntu also did a transition from squid3 to squid packaging way ahead of
out upstream sources making it a sort-of clean process or Debian doing so.
I recommend you make sure you are using the .src.deb out of your Ubuntu
version as a basis for any re-builds.

The offending code is buried in the autoconf toolchain. The directries
existence is automatic when the icons/ directory is "make install"ed.
