Good.

Most probably not, buster will have Boost 1.67. Uploading a new version
is extremely time consuming and there is no real indication on what
benefits it provides.

boost-defaults does not contain the actual Boost, it just depends on the
default Boost version. For the actual Boost package you should look at
boost1.67.

However, be warned: Boost is a very complicated piece of software, and
boost1.67 is a rather complicated package, so it's not the right place
for beginners. If you are a beginner, just use boost1.67, it will be
more than ok for nearly anything you have to do.
