Package: libasio-dev
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

libasio-dev does not declare any dependency on libboost-date-time-dev;
however, any non-contrived use of the library will include headers that
transitively include headers from that package.  For example: I modified
the "asynchronous daytime server" example from the documentation to use
only the headers it needs instead of the convenience header <asio.hpp>.
It was not possible to make the example compile in the absence of
libboost-date-time-dev.

Long term I think this is really a bug in boost - the date_time headers
that don't require the associated runtime library should be moved to
libboost-dev - but for lenny, at least, libasio-dev should grow a dependency
on libboost-date-time-dev.
