How much yeast do you add to each bottle when refrigerating?

Actually, I add it just before bottling--only if I've been cold conditioning beforehand. I add about a third of a packet of dry ale yeast to the entire batch, along with my carbonation sugar, for five gallons. It's just to make sure you've got enough viable yeast to produce carbonation.
