I'm not very familiar to HAProxy release policy, so followed the regular
"rolling release" thing. OTOH we have one spec file currently so cannot
maintain both without some manual modifications.

Feel free to submit a patch if you think it is worth maintaining 3.2.X,
and its spec file should be in a different directory (haproxy32?) than
the current one.
