Rather than carrying boost1.40 in universe, would it make sense to provide a separate boost1.42-mpi source package that generates only the mpi packages for universe? Would this be notably better for security support, and/or benefit users of MPI by having these packages on the same upstream version as everything else? If this is the only remaining reason for boost1.40 to exist anywhere, it seems to me that the one-time packaging changes to have everything using boost1.42 might be a win.
