[jelle@t14s][/tmp/srsgui]%grep -r boost /usr/include/srsgui
/usr/include/srsgui/common/WaterfallData.h:#include <boost/circular_buffer.hpp>
/usr/include/srsgui/common/WaterfallData.h:#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
/usr/include/srsgui/common/WaterfallData.h: typedef boost::shared_ptr< std::vector<double> > VecPtr;
/usr/include/srsgui/common/WaterfallData.h: typedef boost::circular_buffer< VecPtr > VecPtrBuf;

So hmmm technically it should or should not? I suppose `boost` has the headers so boost-libs would not be required?

That was my thinking if it only uses the headers or static libs provided by boost it does not require a runtime dependency on boost-libs. Over ninety packages that list boost-libs in depends do use the shared libs. The ones that do not that I am aware of are:
arrow  FS#77177 
bitcoin  FS#77150 
codeblocks
deepin-file-manager
cvc4  FS#70790  no longer uses boost and FTBFS and source checksum mismatch
kicad  FS#77214 
paraview  FS#77215 
pingus  FS#77213 
scantailor-advanced
srsgui  FS#77217 
ukui-control-center

I am unsure about pyopencl-headers's usage.
