[Bug 1552097] [NEW] Can we please import Squid 3.5.14 from Debian testing/unstable ? (into at least Xenial LTS)

[Wladimir Mutel]

Public bug reported:

Within my corporate network, all outgoing http/https requests are done through Squid 3.3.8 running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x86_64)
Recently, problems with Win10 upgrade started to occur as it is trying to fetch a 2.5GB file in one go.
Turned out that Squid 3.3.8 still has some signed 32-bit overflow which makes it stumble on serving files larger than 2**31 bytes.
After some research, the problem was fixed by rebuilding Squid 3.5.14 and libecap3 from Debian testing sources.
>From what I see now, Squid version is still 3.3.8 in Xenial development branch.
Are there any plans to keep it up with Debian testing/unstable ? The April is nearing. I would be happy to get some improvements in Xenial's Squid package.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
