The 2.6.12-1+deb12u1 is the latest package available from the Debian bookworm https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/haproxy
If you need the newest HAproxy version, you should build this by building scripts https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/tree/current/scripts/package-build
Or waiting until bookworm updates the major package version.
