In Debian Bullseye + Ubuntu 22.04 the libboost-date-time library (1.74 boost version) has been a dummy stub. The header files for boost-date-time are in the libboost-dev package.
Columnstore 23.10, the version in MariaDB-server-11.4+ is strictly dependant on a 1.88+ boost version. As such remove the libboost-[^d]* dependencies of columnstore until such Debian/Ubuntu version support this. libboost-dev is still needed for oqgraph These version are: * forky/sid * questing/resolute The debian/control always contains the version that would compile on debian/sid. The debian/autobake-deb.sh adjusts the control file on earlier distros to remove the dependencies.

MariaDB/server#4863 targeting 11.4, is removing the boost deps to support CS 6.4 so we can't base older Ubu/Deb on 11.4, because server versions 10.6/10.11 (CS 6.4) are still built there. Older Ubu/Deb build 11.4 + so ARM deps are still a requirement, resulting in a small hack to the downloaded debian/control file.

The libboost-date-time package contains a dummy symbol like the libboost-system package previously removed. There's no point linking to this.

Columnstore has made a point of compiling only with boost-1.88+ per its cmake/boost.cmake file in the columnstore submodule. We can omit the libboost dependencies, except for libboost-dev required for oqgraph, on the Debian/Ubuntu distos where there isn't a boost 1.88 version.
Thanks @RazvanLiviuVarzaru for pulling all these boost versions, boost components and their usages together.
