Yeah, but you'll be fine to specify a newer version of buildout, eg:

[buildout]
extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/4.1.2/versions.cfg
version = versions

[versions]
zc.buildout = 1.5.whatever

Well, this is kind of irrelevant, buildout 1.5 makes wrapping the 
buildout in a virtualenv unnecessary...
