No problem, we've all been there.  The link is a bit hidden in the
corner. :P

To elaborate a bit, once the development cycle starts, packages get
automatically synced from Debian (unless there's some Ubuntu-specific
changes, in which case they need to be manually merged). Then around
halfway through, there's an import freeze and focus on
bugfixes/stabilizing. It is still possibly to request syncs, but towards
the end there's less changes happening. Then once the release is out,
development continues in the next development release, but in certain
cases updates and fixes for severe issues are applied to the packages in
the archive. These are often minimal changes in order to reduce the
potential for introducing new issues.

For an overview (and more details for each point) you can take a look at
the release schedule for Xenial at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule.

>I will try building it from source myself with Boost 1.59, then.

Cool. It would be really nice if you could post a comment on how it
goes. Presumably, Ubuntu/Debian will want to package a newer version of
boost at some point and it would be nice to know whether this package
starts working again or whether additional fixes will be required.
