[Pkg-haproxy-maintainers] 1.5~dev23

[Apollon Oikonomopoulos]

Hi,

I uploaded 1.5~dev24-1 with no other changes in a bit of an urgent 
fashion, since dev23 suffered a couple of major bugs. I just pushed the 
following changes for 1.5~dev24-2 (or later) to experimental:

Implemented, we now use a graceful reload to load new versions of 
HAProxy. Since 1.5-dev23 this will also re-exec the systemd wrapper, 
thus completely loading a new version of the binaries with 
zero-downtime.

Implemented. On the way I also split the build into binary-arch and 
binary-indep, which requires debhelper (>= 8.9.7), so I bumped dh and 
compat to 9.

I found out that adding a "stats socket" directive allows HAProxy to 
start without a listen directive, allowing us to continue shipping a 
config with the Debian defaults while not breaking systemd by having 
haproxy.service marked as failed upon installation. Since the admin 
socket is generally useful, we now create it by default under 
/run/haproxy.

Please test these changes if you would like :)

Cheers,
Apollon
