Thanks for the heads up, but there might be some issues.

boost1.37 (1.37.0-4) added new packages libboost-mpi1.37.0 and
libboost-mpi1.37-dev as well as a build dependency on mpi-default-dev.
The problem is that mpi-default-dev is not in Ubuntu and it is
probably too late in the cycle to get an ACK on importing a brand new
package.

I'll see if I can simply backport the
fix_eventfd_select_interrupter.patch to the Ubuntu package.

Thanks,

Andrew
