    + Dynamic backend server configuration
    See https://www.haproxy.com/blog/whats-new-haproxy-1-8/ and

    + Drop explicit dh-systemd dependency and invocation
    + Replace --no-restart-on-upgrade with --no-restart-after-upgrade
      --no-stop-on-upgrade to make up for DH 10 defaults.
  * B-D on libsystemd-dev and enable sd_notify() support on Linux.
  * B-D on python3-sphinx instead of python-sphinx.
  * d/rules: do not call dpkg-parsechangelog directly.
  * d/copyright: drop obsolete section.
  * Drop obsolete lintian overrides.
  * Do a full-service restart when upgrading from pre-1.8 versions and running
    under systemd, to migrate to the new process model and service type.
    + Document this in d/NEWS as well.
