Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
Noticed debian-forky-arm64 and debian-forky-amd64 Packaging Build jobs failing with Error: Unable to locate package libboost-system-dev.
Debian forky dropped libboost-system-dev (Debian bug #1127191).
Upstream Boost removed System in version 1.89, but the library has been empty since Boost 1.69 ('Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.').
Last success: https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/25979968740/job/76366822034#step:12:128
First failure: https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/26011565454/job/76453128884#step:12:128
Should be safe to remove, Arrow doesn't link boost_system (PARQUET-1105, #45440).
