Do I need to add:

alias boostbook : log : : : <implicit-dependency>log ;

or are the existing lines enough?

Yes, you need to add those lines. The intent is to eventually replace the hard coded lines in boost-root/doc/Jamfile.v2 with auto-discovered references to those alias targets.

Ok, thanks.

The point of confusion for me is that there seems to exist the boostbook rule in Boost.Build and I'm supposed to re-define it with the alias?

It's not a redefinition as a rule is not in the same namespace as a target. But I see your point. And welcome alternative name suggestions for the target name :-)

Well, we could follow the standard target names from GNU: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html The 'html' and 'pdf' target names look appropriate.
