It is not a regression, as per-Document boost were never working correctly. If you want 
to boost documents in a consistent way (and make their scores in search results really 
using that factor), you should index a DocValues field and use that in a CustomScoreQuery 
to boost the results with that docvalues field. In Lucene 4.0 (together with other 
changes) we dropped the "old-style", confusing, and incorrect feature.
Well per-Document boost seemed to worked for me with my tests. This new method your propose sounds more complex and is different to what the migration guide says so I don't see that as an improvement.

See the migration guide:

"If you previously used Document.setBoost, you must now pre-multiply
the document boost into each Field.setBoost. If you have a
multi-valued field, you should do this only for the first Field
instance (ie, subsequent Field instance sharing the same field name
should only include their per-field boost and not the document level
boost) as the boost for multi-valued field instances are multiplied
together by Lucene."

Thanks, so its more difficult now sounds like a regression to me.
