[C++-sig] [python] problems with tutorial in Debian

I am resorting to this mailing list since I can't find the answer elsewhere.
I can't compile the tutorial 'hello.cpp' example of boost.python on Debian 
Sarge.
bjam tells me it can't find 'bootstrap.jam' which doesn't exist on my 
system.
The directory structure of the Debian boost package appears to be very 
different to the official one, and is obviously missing a few files. How can 
I fix this?
I installed all the libboost packages that were available to me on a Debian 
installation DVD I bought.
Here are the versions of the relevant packages:

libboost-* : 1.32.0-6
bjam : 3.1.10-1
gcc : 4:3.3.5-3
python : 2.3.5-2

Can anyone help me?

Also are there any other problems I ought to be aware of for creating python 
extension modules with boost.python bjam & gcc on debian?

Thankyou.
