Is that really needed? We'll compile for unstable and that will
result in a dependency on the 1.34 libs anyway because libboost-dev is 1.34
in unstable. So there is no chance for the package to migrate to testing
without boost 1.34 anyway.
IMHO we don't have to care for cases which do not apply to the Debian
ecosystem directly. The patch should be integrated upstream if at all. I mean
they mostly use the boost libs from their own tarball.

Backports are still another matter.

Cheers,
Sven
