No, this is a major version number increment, which means that the API
and ABI have changed from the application's point of view.  That's why
debian/ubuntu/etc. add the so major number to the package name:
xchat-otr and friends can still depend on libotr2 for a while, until
they update their code, while the new pidgin-otr can depend on libotr5.
Surely pkgsrc supports some equivalent notion?

Thanks,
