That's a known issue (although there is no bug report to track it, could 
you please file one?): the debian and ubuntu packages include a patch to 
work around it, see 
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/pyexiv2/0.1.2-4/03_boost-lib-name

Note that I remember reading somewhere that this -mt prefix was dropped 
in newer versions of packages (can't find the link now), and it seems to 
be the case in ubuntu karmic: libboost-python1.38.0 has the -mt prefix, 
libboost-python1.40.0 doesn't (compare 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/libboost-python1.38.0/filelist 
to http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/amd64/libboost-python1.40.0/filelist).
