versions to include a patch on a dependency like OpenSSL?

The 'haproxy' image for Docker is maintained by the Docker Official
Images Team [1] [2]. They also handle the necessary rebuilds when the
base image changes. I maintain 2 images as part of the Official Images
program and also contribute to the HAProxy image via Pull Requests. I am
not part of the DOI Team, though.

Independently from your email I already asked in their IRC whether the
'debian' base image is going to be rebuilt due to the OpenSSL update.
This would then cause a rebuild of the 'haproxy' image.

For the images that contain a username (e.g. timwolla/haproxy) the
authors are responsible to trigger a rebuild.
