Install haproxy 1.5 without telling apt specific version

Question

In Ubuntu 14.04 installing haproxy through

apt-get install haproxy

installs haproxy 1.4, while 1.5 is in the repository.

How can I install haproxy 1.5 (or the newest) without resorting to specific versions?

For example,

    apt-get install haproxy=1.5.3-1~ubuntu1

The latest version available for 14.04 in the main repo is 1.4.24-2..are you using PPA ? — heemayl, Jul 15 '15 at 12:05

...bearing in mind the risks (however small) associated with backports. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Stability_of_Backports – matt freake Jul 15 '15 at 15:05
