However above seems to contradict my understanding of the situation in May 2016 lol =) Back then I did believe that boost needs to be rebuild. *sigh* i'm really not in a rational state of mind at the moment. I'll try to dig into it during Debconf 2016, when I'm away from the current politics in my country. -- Regards, Dimitri.
