Oh, actually, I didn't ask for a binNMU for hpijs! Good you asked to see
the mail ;) (I asked one for libfwbuilder, which is in the same case).
Release team, could you please investigate the various binNMUs needed
for packages built against libsnmp10?

Directly uploaded.

The problem is that the maintainer probably won't do anything about
that, except ask for a binNMU himselves. So, if you can ask for a
binNMU yourself, you avoid the case of an inactive/busy maintainer.
