maintanace is it. if you have to adminster only one sytem you may use source. i've to to this with several (50 +) systems so source setups are no real option for a production system imho.
Every package manager in use today supports local packages. The debian apt system certainly does.
Any administrator having to maintain 50+ systems should learn to use and customize the package manager to make his life as streamlined as possible.
And then an official statement: The Squid version supported on this list is the current STABLE source version at the time. The primary support channel for binaries provided by various OS vendors is the respective OS vendors support channel. It is assumed you have verified that the problem does exists in the current STABLE source version before posting a question regarding communication or stability issues.
