Title:
  No b2 executable in libboost-tools-dev

Bug description:
  The boost build tool, b2 is important for any project that is using
  the boost build system for its own purposes.

  It is distributed in Ubuntu as part of the `libboost-tools-dev`
  package. However, it is renamed `bjam` there.

  The `bjam` name is archaic. Something like five years ago, they
  decided to rename it to `b2` since it doesn't interoperate with the
  old perforce version `bjam` which isn't developed anymore.

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5759434/boost-installation

  http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_48_0.html

  I understand that the ubuntu package still calls it `bjam` to avoid
  breakage (presumably), but can't it at least provide a symlink called
  `b2`? It seriously confused me for a long time why I couldn't get
  travis-ci to use `b2` after installing `libboost-all-dev`.
