MRE request for HAProxy

[Lucas Kanashiro]

Hi,

I would like to request a Micro Release Exception for the HAProxy
package in all supported Ubuntu LTS releases. I put together a wiki page
describing everything I judged pertinent to the MRE here:

          https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HAProxyUpdates
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HAProxyUpdates>

In all Ubuntu LTS releases we have LTS versions of HAProxy and upstream
has carefully fixed bugs in them.

Unfortunately, the package does not run upstream tests during build time
because it relies on an external framework for testing (better explained
in the wiki page), however, upstream has defined some great CI pipelines
which run all the tests and more against all the supported branches. The
package does contain some DEP-8 tests, and we (Server team) have been
working to increase the coverage, for instance we have added a couple of
SSL related tests in Ubuntu and they are already merged in Debian (will
be available in the next upload). If the MRE is granted for HAProxy, all
the new DEP-8 tests will be included in the future releases.

Thank you in advance for considering this request, and please let me
know if you need more information.
