The haproxy.cfg file seems to be missing a listen section, due to
which haproxy is unable to start after the package is installed. The status of
haproxy in systemd becomes "failed (Result: start-limit)" because the service
file is configured to always restart it. I don't know if this is acceptable
behaviour but its something that I noticed.

If this is undesired behaviour, it can be fixed either by having a listen
section in haproxy.cfg, or by not attempting to start haproxy after install.

Please do let me know if I can help with doing changes (or testing).
