Comment 14 for bug 329042

I wonder if a way forward here is for there to be a Boost Development team created and a Boost project created. Then there can be a PPA for Boost that can have the latest and greatest version available as soon as it is ready.

I suspect the easiest way of handling the packaging would be to grab the packaging structures used to create the versions already in Debian and then amend them to suit the changes that have happened since.
