[Boost-build] Boost.Build loading wrong build system?

While I was trying to use the format-name rule from the common module, I 
discovered the following problem:

I have installed on my machine both, the debian boost-build package 
(which goes to /usr/share/boost-build ) and the source from RC_1_34_0 
branch.

When I do
bjam --version
from any directory (not RC_1_34_0) I get:

Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)
Boost.Jam 03.1.14

and for bjam --debug-configuration I get:

notice: found boost-build.jam at /usr/share/boost-build/boost-build.jam
notice: loading Boost.Build from /usr/share/boost-build

This looks good so far, but from the RC_1_34_0 directory
for bjam --version I get:

Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)
Boost.Jam 03.1.14

which I think is not so terribly good since the code definitely is newer 
than the already released milestone 11.

Then for bjam --debug-configuration I get:

notice: found boost-build.jam at 
/home/roland/projects/boost/RC_1_34_0/boost-build.jam
notice: loading Boost.Build from /usr/share/boost-build

Which looks straight wrong to me. The system is loading the wrong build 
system. Although it seems to find the correct path before. This makes it 
impossible to even build the boost library on a debian system that has 
the newest boost-build package installed.

Sorry for not having posted this to

as is beeing suggested in hacking.txt, but the site was down.
