Thanks.  Also if you do not know it, you can use line breaks in the
(Build-)Depends fields. This can make the fields easier to read if done
properly :)

Right, you do not have to paste its contents in twice.  You can say
something like:

"Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
 See the full text of the license above/below"


Also, the license file is still installed in the -dev package.  (see
debian/docs).  In general, when you have multiple binary packages (like
this case), you should use debian/<packagename>.docs (etc.) instead of
debian/docs

Sweet. The original was probably also good too, the new one is just
easier for reviewers/sponsors because all the "standard stuff" is hidden
in the "dh $@" line.

It would also be cool if the build supported the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS set by
dpkg-buildpackage/dpkg-buildflags.  This would allow derivatives and
users to rebuild the package with different standard flags.  A notable
example here is Ubuntu, which is currently linking with --no-add-needed
and --as-needed.
  I messed around a bit and the library appears to build just fine with
- --no-add-needed (and --no-undefined), so it appears to be properly linked.
