We can't rename them in SLES. In Factory, there is just one version. ALP is going to be "different" so I suspect we will not have this issue there. I think there is nothing really to do here except to comment on the bugs one in a while and there are not many. Maybe a notice could be attached to the other boost packages in the libboost_headers-devel subpackage only detailing that it's not ABI compatible with rest of the system and should be used with caution. Don't have the notice on the runtimes. This could be done similar to mutt, search for "notify", osc less server:mail mutt mutt.spec
