Well, this is part of BGL build, and it does not use Boost.Build. I am not 
sure why --- BGL has some Jamfile for Boost.Build V1, but I don't know if it 
works. As it is, seems like Debian package maintainer decided to use 
Makefile. The changes you made to 'gcc-tool.jam' have no effect on it.

If you really need Boost built with 3.0, including BGL, you'd have to edit the 
Makefile, (or use Boost.Build V2 ;-) )

HTH,
