* enforcing the use of the same language variant for the compilation of a library and all its dependencies. I believe this is what is done in the Debian community (please correct me if needed)

Is it? If I as a user build my app, I can pick the language variant I want. And AFAIK there's only one variant of the .so available:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Nov 12 2016 libboost_program_options.so -> libboost_program_options.so.1.62.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 520672 Nov 12 2016 libboost_program_options.so.1.62.0

I was referring to the Debian provided packages, obviously not the ones compiled by someone or in a PPA. But I do not have any reference that clearly states this, maybe this is part of the debian package tools.

Those are from Debian.. $ dpkg -l|grep boost ... ii libboost-program-options-dev:amd64 1.62.0.1 amd64 program options library for C++ (default version) ii libboost-program-options1.62-dev:amd64 1.62.0+dfsg-4 amd64 program options library for C++ ii libboost-program-options1.62.0:amd64 1.62.0+dfsg-4 amd64 program options library for C++ ... -- Olaf
