For Debian, at least, yes.

I guess...

Problem is, most of my Varnish installations are previous squid sites,
and varnish + varnishlog is less resource intensive than squid, while
performing better.  Having a detailed log available by default is
incredibly useful, particularly for new sites.

Or maybe I'm more fond of having data for debugging than available
diskspace.
