That would certainly correspond with the Boost easyconfig file you mention, but
it's very unlikely you'd specify it like this, because the toolchain you
specify here needs to be compatible with the one specified in the 'toolchain ='
line of the .eb file where you include this dep. in practice, hard specifying
the toolchain for a dep only occurs with subtoolchains (GCC, GNU, gompi, etc).

No, because not listing the versionsuffix implies that it's empty, while your
easyconfig has '-Python-2.7.10' as versionsuffix.
This may match:
('Boost', '1.58.0', '-Python-2.7.10')
but only if this line is also in the .eb file where you include Boost as a dep:
toolchain = {'name': 'foss', 'version': '2015'}
In other words: unless the toolchain is specified, the dep 'inherits' the
toolchain from the 'parent'.
