It's not "every time there is a binnmu", it's every time there's a
binNMU _of a multi-arch:same package_, or we'd never schedule binNMUs at
all.

s/binnmu/m-a:same binNMU/, as above.  Yes, this is annoying, but there
isn't a quick solution to the issue other than source uploads (and some
disagreement as to what the correct solution should be - see e.g.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2012/06/msg00232.html )
