Looks good to me too. A couple of comments though:
I'm a little bit concerned is that build-depending on versioned boost -dev
package (libboost1.35-dev) without exact justification is just adding to the
burden when boost migrations occur or boost 1.35 packages gets dropped. As I
can see the sigx code only uses a stable core of boost like
std::tr1::shared_ptr (<tr1/memory>). These tr1 facilities have been introduced
in version 1.34.0. Therefor build-depending on libboost-dev (which is
currently 1.34.1) is safe enough and would avoid the burden to update the
package when 1.35 gets dropped.
