+Exactly how I understand it, as well.
+At 50M, samba-common isn't tiny.
+
+If there is reluctance to have a subpackage for squid alone, maybe a subpackage 
+which is a superset for all packages wanting approximately the same components ?
+
+Possibly making this subpackage parallel to samba-common, created from the same 
+srcrpm, with mutual declared conflicts, so the subpackage is only installed if 
+samba-common isn't, and that those installing samba-common install a single 
+package.
+
+Both seem better options than an independant samba-squid-helper package, which 
+would require mutual conflicts with samba-common.
+
+Just some random ideas ...
