Description

This is apparently a fairly common problem, and I'm not sure how to address it. I didn't see anything in here or in the release notes, but there are forum posts. Apologies if it is documented and I'm blind...

http://blog.stordata.se/index.php/2016/04/13/upgrade-to-pfsense-2-3-breaks-haproxy-how-to-do-it/

I upgraded first, discovered the breakage, uninstalled the 2.3 haproxy package, then checked and there were rather a lot of haproxy-related files still scattered all over the filesystem.

Would it be feasible for the new 2.3 haproxy package to have a subpackage whose postinstall script just goes and cleans up commonly-found left-over files that shouldn't be there anymore? That's my best guess at how to handle this...
