Sure.

I am only maintaing the vagrant lxc images because I use them, and as
the maintainer of vagrant and vagrant-lxc I feel that's needed because
with them one can use vagrant without anything outside of main. The code
I use is in the debian-vm-templates repository (directory
custom-lxc-vagrant), I just build the images (e.g. `sudo make
jessie.box`) and upload them to the debian atlas account whenever I
remember, or when I am reminded like today.

I will be more than happy to stop having to do that once such an
automated process is in place! AFAICT Emmanuel is already talking to the
CD team about that.
