The ppa for Ubuntu 15.04 uses libboost 1.55 AFAICS. However, the
packages there might depend on libraries which are newer than in Jessie.

The best method is probably to build from source. If that's too
involved for you and the binary packages from the Ubuntu 15.04 ppa don't
work, it should be possible to obtain libboost1.54 packages from
snapshot.debian.org.
