I keep running into this idea and I don't get it.
Yes I'm sure that there's some nice mathematics to back it up but...
I've use a lot of 50/1.8 lenses and I have used the CV 25/0.95.
Believe me - the DOF on the 25 wide open on 4/3rds  is VERY thin, far more so 
than a 50/1.8 on 35mm.
I was reminded of struggling with an OM 50/1.2 on 35mm.
So I won't be doing any adding or multiplying thanks, whatever the theory. f1.9 
equivalent - ptui!
I'll stick with the idea that the small sensor merely crops the image.
The reduced focal length widens the DOF but the ultra wide aperture really 
reduces it a lot.
