Have you told squid that it can use greater then 100MByte (the
default)?
(When I upgraded squid from unstable to stable, I told dpkg to install
the new config file, with the low default limit. squid was
automatically restarted, and it proceeded to remove files from my
cache. Ooops. Something you have to watch out for....)

In my squid file, I put in
refresh_pattern \.deb$ 43200 100% 43200
refresh_pattern Release$ 720 100% 720
refresh_pattern Packages.gz$ 720 100% 720
refresh_pattern Sources.gz$ 720 100% 720
to try and eliminate this problem. Seems to work fine. So far...
