boost.python on Debian

Can anyone tell me how to get boost.python to work on Debian Sarge?
When I try to build the tutorial hello world example bjam reports:

/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam
attempted to load the build system by invoking

'boost-build ../../../tools/build/v1 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory or
in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/python/example/../../../tools/build/v1,
/usr/share/boost-build).

I have looked for 'bootstrap.jam' but it doesn't exist on my system.
I suppose that the Debian boost package doesn't have the same structure as
the official one, and is missing some files.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Well, is :

$ apt-get install libboost-python-dev

a valid answer ? Because the Boost project itself maintains the debian
packages, they are always very up-to-date ...

According to apt-get I have the latest (1.32.0-6) Debian boost libraries, and
bjam version (3.1.10-1) correctly installed.

You'd better ask this question on

boost.python mailing list
http://python.org/sigs/c++-sig/

or on

boost development mailing list
