Why are these jobs building in jenkins, rather than in a ppa?

Who administers this jenkins, and why is the jenkins not set up to build
against -proposed?

I'm not sure why your jenkins build environment should have a policy that's
different from both the main archive and the CI Train silos.  I think you
probably want to get this fixed.

This refers specifically to boost 1.55, not "boost".  boost in wily-proposed
is now at version 1.58 and is built for the g++5 ABI.  However, this won't
make its way into wily until the phone stack is ready to migrate (along with
the various other packages that need to be migrated at the same time).
