"python -m SimpleHTTPServer" uses port 8000 by default. Are you
suggesting that all python applications that make use of the
SimpleHTTPServer module be patched to run on a different port just
because squid-deb-proxy uses port 8000? IMHO that makes as much sense
as forcing all non-Apache web servers to default to something else
other than port 80 merely because Apache uses port 80 by default
(which is to say, that makes no sense at all).

Vincent
