This is not a bug =) boost1.55 was removed from testing, and should be
removed everywhere else too.

The current boost in both testing and unstable is boost1.58, which is
compiled with c++'11 abi and should be installable.

Given that it's no longer installable can boost1.55 be requested to be
removed from unstable?
