Description: I'd like to request that the description for Dansguardian be changed. It is not a Squid plugin and can work equally well with any proxy server, even a very simple one.
Perhaps something from http://dansguardian.org/?page=whatisdg
Thanks

I just realized; stupid me; that squid is actually a dependency. It shouldn't be. As I mentioned it works just fine with just about any proxy. I've used it with polipo and tinyproxy and some others. Perhaps squid should be moved to optional dependencies instead.

I just had a look at the Wiki page for Dansguardian. It says that Squid is recommended but states very clearly that it is not needed... any proxy server will do.
Could squid please be removed from dependencies. It's a large install and, since it is unnecessary, its install would seem to go against core Arch principles.
