What to do with release number on new EL-5 branch

Hi,

I've just had an EL-5 branch created for my disktype[1] package. The
new branch is a copy of the devel branch, so the NVR is currently
disktype-9-5.

Should I build the package as-is (so the first EPEL version is 9-5),
or clear the changelog and start from 9-1 again for the EL-5 branch?

I looked on a few pages[2][3][4] for information on this, but couldn't
see anything.

Thanks,

Rich
