+  The boost library short name has changed semantics in Debian.  Prior to

+  threaded.
 
-Boost library names encode the SOVERSION and build characteristics of
-the library, including the compiler used (gcc41) and whether
-multi-threading is enabled (-mt if so).  This leads to long names like
-libboost_wserialization-gcc42-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1
-[http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#library-naming]
-that are hard to discover in the build system of boost-using software.

-Prior to 1.34.0-1, Debian packages provided a NON-PORTABLE short form
-of the library name as a convenience.  The short form
-(e.g. libboost_wserialization.so) did not have the compiler or "-mt"
-strings in the name, even though it was the multi-thread flavour.

+  strings in the name, even though it was the multi-thread flavour.
 
-Other distributions, e.g. Fedora, use the so-called "layout=system"
-install and also have shorter-named boost libraries.  However, the
-short-named libraries are the single-threaded flavour.  The
-multi-threaded flavour has "-mt" appended,

-After some discussion, both internal and on bug reports #429533,
-#424038, #425264, #428419, #431502, and #425992, we decided to bring
-the Debian names in line with "layout=system", hence compatible with
-other distributions.  This means that the short name has changed
-semantics from being the multi-threaded flavour to being now the
-single-threaded flavour.
