package.unmask in profiles doesn't do anything... commit message being "Fixed bogus line package.mask" which... well, it can't fix anything since portage will _not_ read package.unmask out of $PORTDIR profiles.

Only place package.unmask is usable is /etc/portage/

So... what gives?  Fat fingers, or...

The only package that's unmasked in there is app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc, which is removed from the tree anyways.

I repeat... that file doesn't do anything; so it didn't even manage the unmasking ;)

Well ok, replace "unmasked" with "listed".
