I'll backport the CMake 4.1.0 fix to trixie. Just for the record, the 
Boost module has been deprecated and should be avoided in new code [1]. 
Boost ships with its own CMake configuration these days, which will be 
used if (in order of my personal preference)
- cmake_minimum_required() indicates support for version 3.30 or newer,
- the CONFIG option is used with find_package(), i.e., 
   find_package(Boost CONFIG), or
- policy CMP0167 is explicitly set to NEW.

Cheers
Timo
