When you set the directive in squid.conf:
   logfile_rotate 0

Then squid does *NOT* do any log file name changing. All it does is
close its connection to the logs and open a new connection to the
un-numbered file.

If you have wrongly set logfile_rotate to a number other than 0 (the
default is 10 unless you configure it to something else). Or if you have
wrongly used access.log.${process_number} to create log files then you
will end up with numbered files.

Note: Debian packages contain hard-coded chanegs that integrate Squid
with logrotate. Including lgrotate script and squid.conf default
"logfile_rotate 0".

Check for those two problems. If they do not exist in your squid.conf
then the problem is outside of Squid. Possibly you have two logrotate
scripts managing squid log files?
   grep -R "squid" /etc/logrotate.d/
