The Ubuntu archive is organized differently than the Debian one which
causes some divergence.

Due to the demand for the Boost MPI packages, we have decided to keep
two versions of Boost in the archive for Maverick.  Boost 1.42 is in
Main and (because the needed MPI build-depends aren't in Main) is built
without MPI.  Boost 1.40 is in Universe and is (as of a few minutes ago)
built with all the MPI packages shipped by Debian.

No doubt using an older version of Boost to get MPI is not ideal, but
it's the best we can do for now and, I think, far better than nothing.

** Changed in: boost1.42 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
