New version was relased at 06 october 2009. Reproducible: Always
Mysql AB recommends 5.1 line as production version, maybe it's time to unmask >=mysql-community-5.1 ?
If you would like to use the Percona version, here is the link: http://www.percona.com/mysql/TESTING/5.1.40-9/
This sounds like a duplicate of bug #194561 to me. FWIW, robbat2 has said in comment 69 of that bug: > -community is now obsolete. Upstream has re-merged the community codebase with > the former enterprise codebase.

I agree with you. I did not see even masked version of dev-db/mysql-5.1.x and i didn't know about merging community with core. BTW 2 years old, active bug .. ;) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 194561 ***
