 http://backports.debian.org/wheezy-backports/overview/ reports that
 it's up to date with 1.5, but is only making 1.5.8 available. Does
 anyone have any insight into why this might be and how/if one might
 help the situation?

 To be in wheezy-backports a package has to be in jessie (the next
 version of Debian). Currently, jessie is frozen because the release is
 imminent, so it is not possible to push newer versions. Once jessie is
 released, it will be possible to get more recent versions for wheezy
 through wheezy-backports-sloppy (or jessie-backports if you upgrade
 to jessie).

 Also note that critical fixes have been integrated in this version (in
 wheezy-backports). See the changelog:
  
 https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/h/haproxy/changelog-1.5.8-2~bpo70%2B1

 Once 1.6~dev1 is released, I will push more repositories to give more
 choices (1.4, 1.5, 1.6, all distributions, stable or latest
 versions).

Thank you, that's cleared it up. I had wondered if it was
jessie-related - it's good to get confirmation :-)
