As I explained to people at the meeting this week, Debian and Ubuntu
policy is to not alter their own stable release short of serious
security bugs.

http://www.debian.org/security/faq#oldversion
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When

The high-priority security bugs found in squid since PRE5 account for
the five patch releases they have made on the package. It's just missing
countless cleanups, non-security bugs, and features.

But the 'testing' (their RC distribution) release squid is very current,
and should work easily.
