[Merge] lp:~sil2100/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-touch-remove-boost-hard-version-dep into lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-touch.wily

[Łukasz Zemczak]

The proposal to merge lp:~sil2100/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-touch-remove-boost-hard-version-dep into lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-touch.wily has been updated.

Description changed to:

Try not to depend on an explicit boost version in sdk-libs-dev as there are no reasons to do so. This will unblock a few packages and make main boost transitions a bit less painful (seeds won't require bumping with each release).

Currently this blocks many packages from migrating to the release pocket. The issue is that currently sdk-libs-dev deps on libboost1.55-dev. The main seed branch had this dep bumped to libboost1.58-dev but this is still in -proposed (and the transition will take a long time to finish). There's no real reason to depend on a specific version here, so we can simply use the dependency package instead. There should be no consequences of this change (besides the positive ones)
