 based on world objects and other intuitive classes. 
 
 This package contains the library and plugins.

One can see the transition happening at http://release.debian.org/transitions/h ... t1.54.html as well as follow the bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704032 and the various bugs which are blocking the transition. I dunno much about boost but it's needed by many python apps. Hopefully this transition completes in the next 2-3 days.

Welcome comments, additions to what is going on.
