The icu transition has started now. Can you make a boost1.67 upload
build-depending on the new icu, with a bumped shlibs, similar to [1] ? That will
break ceph from sid (which depends on boost1.67), so an appropriate breaks would
be good. However please don't just break all the old versions, as the package
from testing doesn't break (it uses boost1.62) and if you break that, then
boost1.67 won't migrate until ceph gets fixed (it currently is in a bad shape in
sid). A breaks on (= 12.2.8+dfsg1-1), (= 12.2.8+dfsg1-2) should do the trick.

[1] https://packages.qa.debian.org/b/boost1.62/news/20180519T150535Z.html

Then once this is uploaded and built, we should be ready to go with
boost-defaults and start with the binNMUs. I'll give you an ack then for the
-defaults upload.

Cheers,
Emilio
