Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libboost-dev

All boost libraries use a suffix in their name like:

libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so

Programs linking against boost support a TOOLKIT env to add gcc,
but often no suffix suport. I think there should be 
symlinks like other libraries usually create.

example:
ln -s libboost_thread-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so
ln -s libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so libboost_thread-mt.so
ln -s libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt.so
ln -s libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt.so libboost_filesystem-mt.so
ln -s libboost_regex-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so libboost_regex-gcc-mt.so
ln -s libboost_regex-gcc-mt.so libboost_regex-mt.so
ln -s libboost_python-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so libboost_python-gcc-mt.so
ln -s libboost_python-gcc-mt.so libboost_python-mt.so
