You noticed a complication I was avoiding.  There are actually two
packages that need an rtupdate script: libboost-python-dev, and
libboost-dbg.  The latter holds all the "debug" versions of the
libraries, including the Boost.Python libraries.  The only difference
in names is that the debug libraries have "-d" in them.  So I was
avoiding two scripts by this parameterization.

[I have subsequently done the parameterization slightly differently;
consult the boost svn repo for details or wait for the upload in a few
hours]

Indeed.  I had sent out the note before fully testing
the script.  How embarrassing.

Thanks,
