It doesn't matter. One typical use case is include a Boost header, wait for 
the linker error calling for a missing libboost_foo-vc80-mt-whatever.lib, 
then somehow figure out a way to build it. If the autolink code selects a 
debug library, this is what the user needs, regardless of whether he intends 
to debug into Boost.

On a related note, the obvious way to build 
libboost_foo-vc80-mt-whatever.lib:

    bjam libboost_foo-vc80-mt-whatever.lib

didn't work last I tried it.
