If you read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages, you'll note that the version for upstream's 1.0b3 should have been 1.0, and the release should have been something like 0.1.b3. If that had been followed, you could easily have made upstream's 0.999 keep version 1.0, and set the release to 0.2.999 or something like that. However, given that these guidelines weren't followed, I think bumping epoch, changing the version to 0.999 and the release to 1 is probably your best bet.
