Hi Jan,
Looking forward to git pull. Did you push your work on Alioth ?

It seems most people who wrote on 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787298, and according 
to what I heard on the Vagrant user group, most people prefer a base box 
without provisionners.

Actually adding a provisionner to the base box is just a matter of 
adding:

 config.vm.provision "shell",
 inline: "sudo apt-⁠get -⁠-⁠yes install cfengine3"

inside the config block of the Vagrantfile

@anders: is the 0.95 release enough to build vagrant boxes ? It would 
make sense to use a stable release of bootstrap-vz if possible, so we 
could switch to the packaged version of bootstrap-vz in the mid term.
We would then be able to create Vagrant base boxes using only software 
available in Debian.
