AIUI (on Debian testing), libboost-all-dev pulls in libboost-dev plus
all the subprojects (date-time, filesystem, graph, iostreams, math, mpi,
program_options, python, regex, serialization, signals, system, test,
thread, and wave).  Merkaartor doesn't require any of the subprojects.

But perhaps 1.38 is packaged slightly differently to 1.40 (which is what
I get).  I don't get 1.38 in my package lists, but libboost1.39-dev
Suggests all the subprojects and 1.40 is the lowest version to have an
'all' package that Depends on them.
