Yes, that's correct.  In the case of the recent boost-defaults
issue, it was a problem in unstable itself.  So I had to revert it.

True.  You can either:

(a) depend on libboost1.48-dev, then update when 1.49 comes out; or
(b) depend on libboost-dev, implicitly promising compatibility with
    all versions of boost, past and present
