Requesting a brief (1-3 week) FFe for this please. I have a merge ready,
but there is a transitional bug I want to fix. conffile renaming is
currently not working in some scenarios, which I believe also affects
Debian. It is complicated because of a migration in Debian of squid3 ->
squid which overlaps Ubuntu taking squid3 as default ahead of Debian in
the past, so there are overlapping package renames going on (crossing
the Ubuntu delta) as well as the conffile rename, which isn't working.

I'm still working on fixing this, and I'd prefer to land it when it's
ready rather than right now, because then I don't have to worry about
unsticking users caught by the current bug in another set of
transitional code.

I was delayed by what turned out to be a race condition affecting the
init.d script and system, where systemd cannot find a pid file before
the daemon has written it. A workaround for this is trivial (sleep 4 or
something), but I'd prefer not to land this without fixing it properly
either. But if the release team prefers an earlier landing to grant the
FFe, I can fix the first and leave the second worked around and fix it
properly afterwards. That would allow users to test the actual binaries
and functionality better.

I feel it's quite important to get squid to 3.5 in 16.04, as the current
version is quite out of date.
