using boost headers

[Carlo Segre <segre@iit.edu>]

Hi All:

One of my packages uses the boost headers and distributes them in the 
original tarball.  I have been modifying the configuration scripts to 
ignore the local copy and use the libboost-dev dependency instead.  Since 
these are headers and not real libraries, would it violate policy for me 
to revert to the version included in the tarball?  Upstream prefers to 
continue distribution in the tarball and it would avoid having to 
continually patch the configuration scripts.

Cheers,

Carlo
