It is the same bug, though I'm not entirely convinced it's a Boost bug. It's a hairy issue, people have been relying on some behavior for quite some time now and this behavior is about to change. What's clear to me is that if we don't find a good solution for this, we'll have a lot of packages to fix. Roger Leigh proposed better pkg-config support for Boost[1] and even submitted a patch upstream[2] that still requires integration with bjam (Boost's build system) and is awaiting upstream approval. It would be great if we could have this integrated in Debian even if upstream rejects it, in my opinion. I'd change btag to use pkg-config in that case and #602959 could finally be closed.
