debug variants of boost are not binary compatible with non-debug. if
you want to use them, you need to choose them at link time.

libboost-dbg package had not sense, it was not usable at all.

-dbg package for every libboost-* library is required, as well as its
-dbg-dev. i did not want to pass throught NEW queue now.
