Package: libboost1.58-dev Version: 1.58.0+dfsg-5 and others
The way Boost is currently packaged in Debian is non-standard, and inconvenient. To test dependences and build procedures in my application, I often need to selectively remove single Boost components from my system. This requires me to work against the current packaging. Standard is that -dev packages contain header files. This is violated by packages like libboost-date-time1.58-dev that contain no headers, but binary libraries. These libraries should go to libboost-date-time1.58.0. libboost-date-time1.58-dev should contain /usr/include/boost/date_time.hpp. libboost1.58-dev currently contains header files for _all_ components of Boost, which precludes selective (de)installation. It should become a dependency package, and leave it to packages like libboost-date-time1.58-dev to actually contain specific headers.
