Hi Louis !
Yes, I have the same understanding of the problem ! So if the fix is available, 
and you do port it, I guess you can close the ticket :)
Thanks a lot for you work and effort !
Br,
 Peter.

Title:
  HAProxy init script does not work correctly with nbproc configuration
  option

Status in haproxy package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In case you have more than one process enabled in the haproxy config, the 
init script fails to stop all of those processes.
  So to clarify you need to have this in your haproxy.cfg:

  """
  ...
  global
          maxconn         32000
          ulimit-n        65536
          user            haproxy
          group           haproxy
          nbproc          2

  ...
  """

  the problem is more visible if you set the nbproc to higher number.

  service haproxy stop --> will only stop on of the haproxy processes.

  The problem is so that start-stop-daemon can't handle pid files with multiple 
lines. Only stopping the first one. HAProxy does write all the pids started by 
itself into the pid file, so the problem is not in HAProxy, but in the 
start-stop-daemon or more likely in the init scrip of haproxy.
  One solution or workaround is to remove pidfile option of start-stop-daemon 
in the init script, than it wil work as killall and will stop the haproxy 
processes properly.

  To proof you can try this sequence:

  service haproxy start #if its not running
  ps ax | grep haproxy | grep -v grep | wc -l #this should report 2
  service haproxy restart
  ps ax | grep haproxy | grep -v grep | wc -l #this will report 3

  The workaround as a diff:
  root@ubi1:/opt# diff /etc/init.d/haproxy /etc/init.d/haproxy.orig 
  62c62
  <               --retry 5 --exec $HAPROXY || ret=$?
  ---
  >               --retry 5 --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $HAPROXY || ret=$?
