Just FYI:

I tried manually upgrading squid to 6.13 on three machines.

The Pre-Depends: caused some troubles, I needed to call dpkg install 
multiple times.  

Luckily (or unluckily?) squid did not get restarted during during manual 
installs, so I only restarted manually after new versions were in place.

I would manually prefer using package like squid-base for common 
architecture-dependent files (squid-common is for architecture-independent 
files) but that's up to maintainers.

I will try upgrading to debian testing to check how it works.
