[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#573128: libboost1.40-dev: should depend on libboost-math1.40-dev but only suggests

[Daniel]

Package: libboost1.40-dev
Version: 1.40.0-2ubuntu2
Severity: important
Justification: fails to build from source

In the header boost/multi_index/detail/rnd_index_node.hpp line 19, boost/math/common_factor_rt.hpp is included. This header is part of libboost-math1.40-dev. 
libboost1.40-dev only suggests libboost-math1.40-dev so that you quite easily can end up with a system that has libboost1.40-dev but not libboost-math1.40-dev.

First observed on ubuntu karmic, but dependencies are the same for debian packages for boost versions at least 1.38 through 1.42.
