2.4.3-2~bpo10+1 means this is based on upstream version 2.4.3, second
revision for Debian (-2), backport to Debian 10 (~bpo10), first iteration of
the backport (+1). The changelog (in ~doc/haproxy/changelog.Debian.gz)
gives a hint of the deviation compared to official upstream version:
haproxy (2.4.3-2~bpo10+1) buster-backports; urgency=medium
* Rebuild for buster-backports.

haproxy (2.4.3-2) experimental; urgency=high
* d/patches: fix missing header name length check in HTX (CVE-2021-40346).
-- Vincent Bernat <ber...@debian.org> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 11:56:31 +0200
haproxy (2.4.3-1~bpo10+1) buster-backports; urgency=medium
* Rebuild for buster-backports.
-- Vincent Bernat <ber...@debian.org> Sat, 21 Aug 2021 16:47:45 +0200
haproxy (2.4.3-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New upstream release.
* d/patches: remove patches applied upstream.
* d/patches: h2: match absolute-path not path-absolute for :path.

Debian packages are not based on 2.4.4 because they were prepared in
advance to be ready when the vulnerability is announced. Packages based
on 2.4.4 will get available later this week.
