Description:

The boost package deploys bjam which is now deprecated command of Boost.Build system.

The docs have been updated [1] and the confusion is now clarified

"as of Boost 1.47.0, the official name of the executable was changed to b2"

Additional info:
* package version(s): boost 1.54.0-4

2. which bjam reports found
3. which b2 reports not found
