As the boost libraries also contain the version in the package name, upgrading boost will force to rebuild all packages depending on boost libraries.
Ubuntu is also now in upstream version freeze (UVF), which means one needs to get an exception to include this new upstream version in gutsy now.

Can you list some good reasons (or bug numbers which get fixed with this new upstream version) why upgrading boost is worth getting an UVF exception and rebuilding all depending packages?

The complete list of fixes can be found here: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?status=closed&milestone=Boost+1.34.1
Some of the bugs are marked as showstoppers (e.g. serious memory leak in iostreams, gcc-4.2 related problems).

Diff looks fine, except for the changing of python2.5-dev build dep to python2.4-dev.

Approved UVF exception if all reverse build deps in main still build with that version and above b-dep check is either fixed or verified to be actually correct (NB the removal of python-elementtree dependencies, which got included into main python in 2.5 only).
