[Fedora-packaging] Retrograde package version

> mt-daapd-0.9-0.2.1696.fc9
> mt-daapd-0.9-0.2.1696.el5

> I had thought that the next release would be in the 0.9 series.

> Now, the bugfix is upstream and the author has released the next version

> What is the best way to handle this? I'd like to avoid using the 0.9

Epoch bump?
