Closing; a default installation of Ubuntu or Debian will not include boost or the other libraries we link against, and we want the binary distribution to be self-contained.

The correct solution to that concern would be to build .debs with dependencies.

... so submit a PULL with the correct solution. I don't know nuthin about building .debs...

The point is that your argument is assuming packaging it the wrong way... but I put out a request for a Debian developer for you.
This pull fixes a problem with users building from source. It isn't intended to fix the flawed packaging.

bitcoind (an old version) is now packaged in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bitcoin
Perhaps the maintainer of that package could help you. If not, someone else could use it as a starting point.
