Not entirely sure what you mean: you think libnotmuch should be
versioned 5.6?

In OpenBSD, libraries from the ports/packages system often carry
different version numbers than you might expect from upstream projects.
These numbers don’t necessarily match upstream’s release version, and
are only bumped when the ABI changes.
