Yes, I think you are right. Upload -11 is being prepared with libboost-python-dev depending on python-dev. > On a side note not related to this at all, I am a bit curious.

If you're asking what happens when Debian drops support for Python 2.4, then I think the answer is that all packages that build-depend on Python (including Boost) get rebuilt. If you arrange things properly according to Debian's Python Policy, this can be done with a binary NMU. Otherwise it can require some packaging changes. -Steve
