For those who are curious/confused, when upstream build a package 
against the master branch for a major release (i.e. the one that will be 
the next point release) the %dist tag is ".el5".  When they build a 
package from a maintenance branch for a given point release (e.g. for 
security errata) the %dist tag is instead ".el5_X", where X is a 
non-negative integer, because it builds against an older package set 
than the master branch.
