Sorry for misunderstanding, I thought you were installing from
subversion, that is what confused me. I would recommend getting sources
from subversion and compiling that, though.

Build-deps care only for packages you have installed, not files that you
install outside the packaging system. If you really want to use the
packaged version, you could

1. use boost 1.34 packages from lenny, but that is complicated (add
lenny to /etc/apt/sources.list, use /etc/apt/preferences to prefer
packages versions from etch, and install boost from lenny). Or you could

2. dist-upgrade your box to lenny, if it is under your control (lenny
will be stable soon, anyway), and have boost 1.34 for free.
