No, because the 2.0 stuff is meant to be separate to the 2.6 stuff. They
install in parallel so that they can exist on the same computer for
different appplications, but you can't use them both in the same
application. You shouldn't need to.

You need to use libbonobouimm-2.6 (which would be in
libbonobouimm-2.5.*.tar.gz tarballs until it is API-stable). But there
don't seem to be any tarball releases of that yet. You should bug the
maintainer if he doesn't respond here.
