[Boost-build] Always link against release version of Boost libraries

Is there a way to always link against the release version of the Boost  
libraries (because the debug version hasn't been built and is not  
available on a server)? I'm on Linux and want g++ to link against  
boost_regex and not against boost_regex-d (which g++ picks because of  
auto-linking). Adding <variant>release doesn't work but maybe something  
else does?

using boost : 1.38 : <layout>system <variant>release ;
import boost ;
boost.use-project 1.38 ;
exe test : test.cpp /boost//regex ;

(Yes, this is with Boost 1.38.)
