openntpd-5.7p4_2,2 depends on libressl-2.2.6 ?!

I put the blame on the people who thought it a good idea to have
FIVE only partially compatible SSL libraries in the tree: OpenSSL
in base, openssl, openssl-devel, libressl, libressl-devel.

Bernard Spil (brnrd) has worked hard on moving the entire tree to
LibreSSL, but the political will is missing.

Like other software coming out of OpenBSD, OpenNTPD now requires
libtls for its https functionality.  That's a new library with a
new API that doesn't exist in OpenSSL.  The constraints check is a
standard feature of OpenNTPD.  If you run OpenNTPD, you expect it
to be available.  I have no intention of disabling this by default
and it requires libtls.

Sorry, I somehow didn't get this.
