Comment(by adfernandes@…):

 Ugh... I was hoping ''never'' to hear someone say that they needed the
 debugging version of the library. There have been large changes to the
 build system since 1.44.0 and I was hoping I could remove the debugging
 variant for 1.45.0. Oh well. I guess I'll keep it.

 The problem, which may have gone away, is that mpi is built differently if
 python is enabled, and the bjam was getting confused as to the names of
 targets when it was compiling. They may have fixed that, I haven't tested
 it yet. Also, the boost-python and mpi-python modules would have to be
 changed to allow installation of the debugging versions.

 It's a mess, really - but I'm going to try (in the next week or two) to
 upgrade the current Portfile to 1.45.0, and we'll see if the build problem
 goes away. I'm not sure how to handle the install, though, since both
 debug and release modules will have the same name.
