[Bug 1854988] [NEW] Block automatic sync from debian for the next LTS

[Andreas Hasenack]

Public bug reported:

Upstream haproxy has the concept of an LTS release, and a stable (non-
LTS) release. Currently, these are (see table at
http://www.haproxy.org/):

stable: 2.1.x
stable LTS: 2.0.x

Debian unstable is at the moment tracking 2.0.x, and debian experimental
is tracking 2.1.x.

For the next ubuntu lts release, we would like to stay on the 2.0.x
track, which is upstream's LTS.

Since this package is a sync, whenever the debian maintainers decide to
push 2.1.x into unstable, we will automatically sync it (if we are not
yet in feature freeze mode). To avoid that, a few options were
explored[1], and adding an ubuntu version to the package seems the best
one.

Therefore, the package will have an ubuntu version, have its maintainer
changed, but no extra delta, just to stop the automatic sync from
happening. Whenever new versions of the 2.0.x track are uploaded to
debian/sid, we will merge it manually into ubuntu.
