[Bug 486386] [NEW] Boost dev packages do not include the boost asio library.

[Nescire]

Public bug reported:

Summary says it all. Taking a look around the repos, this problem is
still around in Karmic for the boost1.40-dev package.

Since this is usually the source of some confusion, I'll summarize the
asio situation here. Asio used to be a standalone library (currently in
the libasio-dev package), and was included in boost from 1.35 onward. A
corresponding Ubuntu package for libboost_asio never materialized
however.

This is especially frustrating since the libasio-dev package, which is
the same library but in a different namespace, seems to have been
updated to reflect its new dependency on boost.
