Since I heard nothing back, I uploaded, and it is now out of NEW.  I
expect binNMUs to FTBFS, so I'm not sure if it's worth asking for them -
I've pinged all the maintainers, but so far exactly one has replied.

Advice?  Is it better to just queue the binNMUs so that at least we know
if they FTBFS?  I tend to think yes, although it does seem a little
strange.

Thanks,
