ok, I've tried to just bump the version and it seems to work, so I've filed 
new SCM admin request (bug #1133548, as I couldn't find the original 
review)

what's next, suppose I have to wait until it is processed, then clone the 
repo and proceed with the update as usual, then step 6. "Request that 
Release Engineering team unblock the package for the current release, via 
their trac instance" ...?

I mean EL6 ... still not sure what about EL5 ...
