Dropped squid transitional package blocks -proposed migration

[Robie Basak]

From the changelog for 3.3.4-1ubuntu1:

  * Dropped:
[...]
    - debian/control: Dropped transitional packages from squid, no
      longer required.

Doing this makes sqcwa and squid-prefetch uninstallable in saucy, since they depend on "squid". This is preventing migration of 3.3.4-1ubuntu1 to saucy. See: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_output.txt

It seems to me that we still need the "squid" transitional package, and am not sure of the reasoning that it is no longer required.

This bug was fixed in the package squid3 - 3.3.8-1ubuntu1
