I made this change.

This is trickier.  There are over 200 instances of BOOST_ROOT in the
docs.  Instead of patching, I created a README.Debian file to
explain.  See below.  Let me know if you can improve the wording.

        BOOST_ROOT
        ----------

Several places in the documentation and examples refer to the
top-level directory of the Boost source tree as "BOOST_ROOT".
Typically, this is used to refer to example code
("BOOST_ROOT/libs/program_options/example directory") or to a
documentation file ("$BOOST_ROOT/doc/html").

Most such references may be found by looking either in
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples or in
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/HTML.  In rare cases, you may need to
obtain the source tree itself to find the file.
