Not sure what happened here exactly. The current libboinc7t64 in
unstable version 7.24.1+dfsg-2.1 has the following it is uploaded
debian/control file (from the dsc):

| Package: libboinc7t64
| Architecture: any
| Section: libs
| Provides: libboinc
| Multi-Arch: same
| Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends}
| Breaks: boinc-dev (<< 7.0.28+dfsg-3),
|         libboinc (<= 7.0.34+dfsg-1)
| Replaces: boinc-dev (<< 7.0.28+dfsg-3),
|           libboinc (<= 7.0.34+dfsg-1)
| Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}
| Description: libraries of BOINC the client depends on

Notably:
 * There is no t64:Provides.
 * There is no Replaces: libboinc7.
 * There is no Breaks: libboinc7

Hence reopening the bug.
