The modification of one conffile should not affect the upgradibility of
the others. The most plausible explanation is that you either have
--force-confold configured somewhere (rgrep in /etc/apt* et /etc/dpkg*)
or you have modified /etc/init.d/haproxy at some point and at one point
in the past, you selected "keep my configuration" (which is the default
answer).
