New description:

 The wrapper port serves no good purpose, its only function is breaking
 various consumers of Boost libs.

 Just another example: https://github.com/NickvisionApps/libnick/issues/50
 And one more: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/25855
 And we got yet more in ports tree.

 These errors never show up on CI or buildbots, for obvious reasons, but
 the current set-up is wrong. It wastes time on debugging and then forces
 to add per-port hacks via `conflicts_build`.
