Is this a separate trap packet, or a second varbind
in the same trap packet?

Yes - you *should* be seeing a sysUpTime varbind in
an SNMPv2-style trap.  That's how these traps are
defined (see RFC 1905, section 4.2.6)
The agent inserts this varbind for you automatically.

If it's a completely separate packet, then that's
more worrying.  But I strongly suspect you're just
seeing this automatically added varbind.

Use SNMPv1 :-)

No - you can't eliminate this "ghost varbind".
It's inherent in the SNMPv2 specification.
If you removed it, then snmptrapd (and any other
standard trap receiver) would complain.
