A better fix would be to add a dummy python25 variant to Deluge, which

I don't understand how this would help. boost +python25 is not an
option for deluge -- it is a python application and won't build without
that support.
The changes that I made tell the user exactly what he needs to do to
install the port without incurring a double build of boost.
Besides, a variant that is always enabled is not a variant at all.
I continue to advocate that, in general, until #126 is resolved, port
maintainers should make sure that the default build of their ports
provides all features required by any dependents. While I understand
that boost takes a long time to build because of its goal to provide
wide ranging C++ support,
adding python25 support by default only increases the number of
libraries built from 19 to 20, a 5% increment. IMHO, not doing so, seems
to me to be contrary to the spirit of the port to provide wide coverage.
Just my opinion, though
