Comment:

 I have exactly the same problem when installing a combined `+python26
 +openmpi` variant. I've rolled a patch that is basically the one described
 above - namely, the debug libraries are not built unless requested (in
 which case the python variant build will fail).

 Clearly, this is a bug in `boost.python` and it rings a bell as something
 I've seen before and posted to the `boost` mailing lists about before. (I
 really hate `jam` as a build tool...)

 My guess is that few, if any, users use the `boost` debugging libraries as
 you really need to be a core developer to hack the internals of `boost`...
 so although I don't like it, my recommendation would be to make the
 `debug` variant optional, and (perhaps) make the python and debug variants
 conflicting.

 Patch attached.
