Bug Description

Currently, the tinyproxy package is ./configured to support only a minimal feature set:

tinyproxy-1.6.3$ grep configure debian/rules
        ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xtinyproxy --bindir=/usr/sbin --mandir=/usr/share/man

** At least --enable-filter and --enable-transparent-proxy, but also --enable-socks and --enable-upstream should be compiled in to make tinyproxy useful. **

Quote:
        --enable-socks This turns on SOCKS support for using
                                tinyproxy across a fire wall.
        --enable-xtinyproxy Compile in support for the XTinyproxy
                                header, which is sent to any web
                                server in your domain.
        --enable-filter Allows tinyproxy to filter out certain
                                domains and URLs.
        --enable-upstream Enable support for proxying connections
                                through another proxy server.
        --enable-transparent-proxy
                                Allow tinyproxy to be used as a
                                transparent proxy daemon

If transparent proxy support missing, one gets a rather misleading message

The following error has occured: Unknown URL type

when trying to use tinyproxy as a transparent proxy.

I recompiled it with

 $ sed 's/--enable-xtinyproxy/--enable-xtinyproxy --enable-transparent-proxy/' debian/rules
 $ dpkg-buildpackage

and it works flawlessly as a transparent proxy.

I'm a Debian developer about to make an update to tinyproxy in Debian. I just noticed this Ubuntu update used a not too convenient version number (-3, instead of -2ubuntu1 or whatever).

I wonder how Ubuntu will sync this package without forcing downgrades. How has been dealt with before?
