This would be a build dependency, so simply add boost to DEPENDS. To help
answer your other question, since this will be (presumably) dynamically linked
to your application, you don't need to do anything else because we detect
dynamic links between files within packages and add a runtime dependency
between the packages.

As for generally how to add packages to an image, please see:

Cheers,
