Latest Ubuntu provide the "squid-openssl" package, which contains the 
SSL-Bump and other OpenSSL-exclusive features.

Just install that package as you would the "squid" package. It can also 
be installed as a drop-in upgrade for the "squid" package.

One thing to be aware of in both cases, is that the SELinux security 
system does not allow Squid by default to access the /etc/ssl/* config 
area. So you may need to allow that depending on what your desired 
TLS/SSL settings in squid.conf are.
