Masked version of course...

Hm, not sure if this is a bug. gentoo-wiki.com says you have to copy the voices
as a very first step. Please not also that gentoo-wiki.com is independent from
gentoo.org and therefore not an official ressource.

Ok. fair enough. It's not a bug as it's an 'addon'. I'll see about getting the 
wiki edited.
cheers.
