According to packages.gentoo.org, both zoneminder 0.9.12 and 1.21.2 are
keyword masked, so the output is correct (for x86).

Esearch shows only the last version, and doesn't distinguish between
hard and keyword masking; perhaps emerge -s is the same.

Also, it helps to remember to do an update-eix after an esync, so that
new or updated packages are added to the eix database.

Other than that, I don't see a problem.
