Because its already contained in the boost source tarball you can
download from boost.org. We're not listing distro packages that you
might have to install, thats far too much work.

And this in particular is a bug in Debians dependencies, we're actually
not using the serialization stuff. We only need the multi-index headers
which are part of boost-dev. However apparently those headers need the
serialization library for some things, hence Debian should probably move
the libboost-serialization-dev dependency in libboost-dev from Suggests
to Recommends. I suggest you file a bugreport with Debian.
