Dear Jim_p,

a bit of good news, at least there seems to be an auto-boost
transition listed on the transition tracker.

See https://release.debian.org/transitions/ and more specifically
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/boost1.67.html

The downer though is that the transition may take a bit of time as
there seem to be quite few transitions to go before boost comes up and
as can be seen the boost transition itself would be a long one.

Feb 2019 is the deadline when Debian will stop accepting new packages.
If the transition happens in a month or two and the maintainer puts
both the newest libtorrent and qbittorrent simultaneously in/around
October or something, it's possible we may be stuck with an older
version of qbittorrent in this cycle.

What could the maintainer do if Christian, the maintainer has the time
is put the latest release on 'experimental' and we the users could use
it and tell if something is missing or if something is buggy but that
is if he can find the time.
