Bug Description

Binary package hint: squid

When debugging squid crashes it would be extremely helpful to have the cache.log in addition to the other logs that are included. It may also be helpful to include the other logs as well, but cache.log will have any error messages.

Looking at (fixed and unfixed) bug reports for Squid over the past few years, I don't spot any where log, config, or other files were needed to diagnose problems. There also seem to be relatively few auto-collected crash reports (at least, few that triggered apport).

Squid doesn't currently have an apport hook, and given the above I'm not sure having one is terribly necessary. But on the off chance I'm wrong, attached is a quick draft of one that could be considered here.
