Luca, thanks for preparing this patch. Since I've already fixed this bug in Debian, I'm going to go ahead and do this as a merge rather than as an ubuntu3 build, purely as a matter of housekeeping. While I would normally be happy to let you do the work on the merge and sponsor the result, in this case I'm in a bit of a hurry because this bug is causing build failures on other packages. :)

whoops, built the source package with Debian dpkg-buildpackage by mistake, so this bug didn't get auto-closed. Here's the changelog:

 boost (1.34.1-2.2ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low
 .
   * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #176511), remaining changes:
     - pyste: drop dependencies on python-celementtree | python-elementtree.
     - GCCXMLParser.py: Use ElementTree from the python2.5 standard library.
     - Set Ubuntu maintainer address.
     - Build with python2.5.
 .
 boost (1.34.1-2.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Change libicu-dev dependency in addition to the build-dependency.
     Closes: #456844.
   * Add back build dependency on gcc-4.1, since bjam currently segfaults
     with gcc-4.2; this is superseded already in 1.34.1-3 in experimental.
     Closes: #456915.
 .
 boost (1.34.1-2.1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload.
   * Build-depend on libicu-dev instead of libicu36-dev for the icu library
     transition. Closes: #454605.
   * Bump the Build-Depends from g++-4.1 to g++-4.2, and add
     backwards-compatibility "-gcc41" symlinks for all libraries to avoid
     gratuitous ABI breakage for the rebuild since the gcc version
     doesn't change the ABI, contrary to upstream assertion. Bump the
     shlibs to match.
   * Add shlibs to libboost-dbg package, for compatibility with new
     dpkg-shlibdeps behavior.

Steve, no problem at all. Thanks for the NMU and this merge, libboost-regex-dev was blocking some packages I'm after.
