Any ETA on the final? Or your personal guess from experience?

Please make sure you file a transition bug with release.debian.org to
schedule this appropriately. While mostly small scale, it can still
get tangled up in unstable with all the other transitions.

Correct. My end goal is to remove 1.49 though =) not just flip the
default over ;-)

Sure. It's just current versions of ogre do not build against 1.53,
and i'd rather would like to keep on top of "things that need to
happen to remove boost1.49".

Please keep this bug open until you build against newer boost 1.53 or better.

To be pedantic =)
"buildability of source packages against the new boost."

eagerly removing older releases, but you know that yourself =)
