Note that as a workaround you could temporarily use a non-default boost
by build depending on libboost-foo1.81-dev instead of libboost-foo-dev,
and then later switch to libboost-foo-dev (>= 1.81) [1] after the
defaults change.

[1] Build-Depends: libboost-foo-dev (>= 1.81) | libboost-foo1.81-dev
would then (*after* the defaults change) be an alternative option to
make the package easily backportable since boost1.81 is already in
bookworm and even bullseye-backports
