Hi Salvatore!

I didn't notice that haproxy in Debian was lagging behind upstream until
your email. I am not using the 1.4.x branch and therefore cannot say if
1.4.15 is usable.

Here is what I propose:

 - We release with 1.4.15 with your proposed patches (I think the
   release team will be OK) in #674447 and #704611.

 - We triage the patchs proposed by Willy and open the appropriate bugs
   as "important" to be able to push those patchs in next Wheezy
   update. From the list, I would say this could be about 10 patches.

 - We package 1.4.23 as soon as Wheezy is released and propose it as a
   backport.

It also seems that the current maintainers do not have much time for
HAproxy. I can take care of maintainership but as I have said, I am not
a user of the 1.4.x branch but I can commit time for it nonetheless (and
provide packages for 1.5devX in experimental).
