Additionally to having the boost1.38 package in jaunty, I'd like to propose adding these two patches to the release, as it fixes important bugs/limitations IMHO:

* https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2744 (fixes support for C++ code that uses enums with the same value, e.g. "enum { Alpha = 1, Beta = 1}", sounds strange, but some C++ headers use it).

* https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47846 (adds support for calling methods with both variable arguments and keywords). According to the author of the commit (stefan), it was supposed to be included in the 1.38.0 release, but somehow it was forgot to be applied to the release branch.

Both patches are fairly small and come with testsuite updates, therefore the impact of them should be minimal.
