This is drawback in the "Add/Remove Applications" program. It apparently only
lists programs that have a *.desktop file. Use the Synaptic package manager
("System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager") to search for BOINC
and to install the boinc-client package.

It is a feature that both are seperated in Debian/Ubuntu. Think of servers
that don't have X.org.
