That patch seems useful to push upstream to Boost developers.

Best is to identify _all_ deviations from pristine Boost, identify for 
each case if it can be upstreamed, and for changes that cannot if those 
can be ignored in Debian, and if not then package a forked Boost 
library.  I.e. *not* sneak in a forked Boost as embedded code copy.
