The Squid Project does not provide binary compiled packages of Squid.
You need to contact your distributor about such things.

Before you do that (others before you already have). Be aware that the
OpenSSL proprietary license is not compatible with the Squid GPLv2
license. It is not legally possible for Debian to distribute any .deb
built as you request.


I am working towards GnuTLS support, which should ease that situation.
But it has to be done carefully (ie slowly and with much thought) so is
taking time.

You will find the Squid-3.5 Debian 'squidclient' package is already
HTTPS-enabled via GnuTLS. The 'squid' package is also linked to GnuTLS
but most of the commonly wanted functionality does not work (yet).
