there is not MPI packages from boost1.42 nor boost1.40: the packages you're seeing are just wrappers from boost-default that don't contains anything: they depends on 'non-existing' boost1.42 mpi packages.
As I said before, the mpi packages has been dropped in December from the main Boost packages.
My debdiff only put in phase boost-defaults with boost1.42. If you want to discuss the lack of mpi support in Ubuntu, bug #585420 is the right place.
