Package: wnpp snmptrapfmt is an upgrade path to the obsolete debian package snmptraplogd. Snmptraplogd was developed in earlier days as the debian snmpd package did not provide (or at least did not start) a snmptrapd. Therefore snmptraplogd had all the code to receive traps itself and to format it. Now the debian snmpd package has its own snmptrapd and only the formatting has to be done. Snmptrapfmt offers the formatting functionality as snmptraplogd did but does no longer conflict with package snmpd. Instead it depends on snmpd now.
