I am a bit stuck here myself with this build style, that is part of why 
the package is not already updated. The Debian auto-build system adds 
those options and AFAICT does not provide an easy way to avoid.

Debian used to use the BerkeleyDB, so the normal Squid build 
dependencies pulls the library in for that.

If libdb-dev is no longer available you will need to install libtdb-dev 
package.

Also, (for now) if you are using the ext_time_quote_acl or 
ext_session_acl helpers you will need to manually purge their databases 
on install/upgrade.
