The dev package libboost-regex-dev maps to a version specific package which is specific per platform: e.g. libboost-regex<VERSION>-dev.
Using that package from CMake results in linking against a library without a specific version number: e.g. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.so.
When only installing the non-dev package like libboost-regex1.67.0 that only installs a library with a specific version suffix, e.g. /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_regex.so.1.67.0.
As a consequence downstream packages fail to link.
As a workaround for now this patch exports the dev package rather than the non-dev package.
