Thanks for looking into this! > Debian is transitioning to an unversioned libboost-dev package provided by > boost-defaults.

Having done some boost transitions myself, I know that a lot of packages aren't sensitive to the particular boost version and build/work fine with any. For those an unversioned build dep makes sense IMHO?
