There is a new alpha release[1] of sage-5.2 which contains the flask 
notebook version 0.9.0. An easy way to upgrade to this notebook would be 
to update the sage-flasknotebook ebuild (and a few other sage related 
ebuilds) to pull the spkg from that release.

The flask notebook itself has a positive review[2] and is probably in 
more final stages at present. Hopefully the sage days 41 [3] workshop 
that is currently underway will see the flask notebook get finalized and 
slated for eventual release with sage-5.2.
