Build-deps care only for packages you have installed, not files that you install outside the packaging system. If you really want to use the packaged version, you could
1. use boost 1.34 packages from lenny, but that is complicated (add lenny to /etc/apt/sources.list, use /etc/apt/preferences to prefer packages versions from etch, and install boost from lenny). Or you could 2. dist-upgrade your box to lenny, if it is under your control (lenny will be stable soon, anyway), and have boost 1.34 for free.
