Actually, I prefer to maintain history from the previous release so that 
its easier to figure out the delta from upstream. I've created a 
linux-firmware maverick branch and uploaded the first pass, though I 
forgot to note in the changelog that I rebased against the upstream 
repo. I corrected that in the repository, but didn't upload with a new 
changelog.
