There's a global at lib/Makefile.inc that re@ has bumped on each major release 
(in the past), and is currently at 5.  It hasn't been bumped since 8.0 actually
since we are now more selective about bumps, but that does explain why it is 5
instead of 0.

This is the distribution of versions in /lib and /usr/lib currently on my 10-stable
desktop:

% ll /lib/*.so.* /usr/lib/*.so.* | awk -F. '{ print $NF }' | sort -n | uniq -c
   6 0
  12 1
  11 2
   7 3
  15 4
  47 5
  22 6
   8 7
   6 8
   1 9
   4 10
  13 11
