Maybe yes, but I'd rather do something else: change the default location.

diskd (and all the other helpers) are not really meant to be run

My take is, let's not change the name. Change the placement.

The Linux FHS would use $(prefix)/libexec/<filename>
As an alternative, I'd suggest $(prefix)/lib/squid/<filename>
