I think that's an accident of sbuild, though.  I could reproduce both
bugs with pbuilder.

Oh, duh, of course.  I understand now.

Well, my personal inclination is to push forward on eliminating the
dependencies on libboost-regex and libboost-filesystem, so that we are
no longer tied to boost at all (we'll still build-depend on boost-dev,
but that won't translate to a runtime dependency, so it won't affect
testing propagation).  This can happen for 0.36 if (a) I succeed in
finishing the b-fs removal tomorrow, and (b) we are okay with merging
nvm.experiment.deregexp plus nvm.experiment.pcre as a stopgap.  I
should bug njs about reviewing .deregexp.
