I see this in boost 1/69 release notes:
Signals (v1) is now removed. Its removal was announced in 1.68 and its 
deprecation was announced in 1.54. Boost 1.68 is the last release that 
provides this library. Users are encouraged to use Signals2 instead. The 
Boost community thanks Douglas Gregor for his work on Signals which 
served its users well and which also inspired Signals2.

Actually, we have switched to Boost.Signals2 some time ago (in 2.3 
already), so that we do not need boost-signals-dev anymore. I would try 
with libboost-dev only as dependency.
