The dansguardian mentioned works well and although it does not have a debian package yet the 2.0 most likely will, and 1.5.x will compile with no issues on debian. 2.0 is coming out and should be a great improvement in speed over 1.5.x which is out now.
I am actively testing it now for a couple of clients out there.

One of the advantages of Squid is that it logs all site accesses. You
can also block sites on a per-domain basis, IIRC.
I recently went through a year's worth of logs, mostly curious to see
what my profile looked like. It's pretty straightforward to see what
sites are being hit, the most popular of same, and/or
increasing/decreasing trends. If necessary, such sites can be added to
blocklists.
Peace.
