Seams to be reasonable. Only small issue is that on master branch there are
still json files when dev have been converted to yaml. So it should be more
like this on master:

/manifests/virtualbox-vagrant.manifest.json
-               "guest_additions": "/root/images/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"
+               "guest_additions": "/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"
/manifests/virtualbox.manifest.json
-               // "guest_additions": "/root/images/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"
+               "guest_additions": "/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso"
 
I'll add virtualbox-guest-additions-iso as a suggest to the next build.

Patches against upstream are not problem from what I can tell. Anders is very
capable and easy to talk to so I'm sure we'll be ok on this front.

I assume you grabbed package from mentors, correct?
Below entry from d/control should answer your question:
Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/cloud/bootstrap-vz.git

Regarding suggestion to document this, well I could do it as I did it in my
other package but I'm not sure if it will bring any additional value.
Let me think about it.

Thx a lot for voicing your opinion, all what helps to make this package better
is highly appreciated.

BTW no need for cc'ing me in I'm subscribed to the 'cloud list'
