boost1.46 is now accepted in oneiric and will be (until at least Debian changes defaults again) the default boost for oneiric. We will also work to remove boost1.42 from the archive this cycle.
How you can help: If you are uploading a package with versioned depends/build-depends on boost1.42, update them to 1.46. Note: Ubuntu often carries versioned dependencies on boost packages as a delta from Debian (it is my view that one really doesn't want to accidentally switch boost versions), but if that is the only delta from Debian, it is not worth maintaining. It should be dropped and the package sync'ed from Debian. Once autosync is finished for the cycle, we will need to examing the remaining packages that depends/build-depend on boost1.42 and they will need to be updated. For packages that build-depend on the unversioned boost packages this is normally a no change rebuild.
