We plan to switch away from git prereleases to the real releases
(coming this week). According to upstream (I did not have a look at
it yet) there will be another bump of libfsotransport to
libfsotransport2 and a bump of libgsm0710mux0 to libgsm0710mux1.

This also includes new versions of fso-deviced, fso-gsmd and
libgsm0710mux, so we can skip the binNMU.

binNMU should work without FTBFS, but as I said we will update the
packages this week, so I guess binNMU is not needed.

pkg-fso is the Maintainer of all reverse dependencies, so I assumed
that coordination with the release team is not strictly needed. I
will send a message next time.
